New Faculty Orientation

All candidates for initial faculty appointment must complete a new faculty orientation session.  The goal of this experience is to introduce the candidate to the academic mission of the medical school and to create awareness of the variety of resources available to faculty members. 

There are normally six sessions per calendar year, occurring at the medical school building (2 Riverside Circle, Roanoke, VA 24016) and at various times of the day.  Remote access via live webinar is also available. 

Contact the faculty affairs office for further information about the orientation process.
