1. Discuss with your Academic Chair*
The intrinsic value and recognition that accompanies faculty appointment at an internationally recognized University is immense. Faculty appointment also enhances the stature of medical education and research programs across the academic health system partnership.
A Georgetown University faculty appointment provides widely recognized professional prestige and expanded opportunities to share your academic work through professional organizations at the local, national, and international level. Faculty have access to unique benefits including full use of the resources of Dahlgren Medical Library, teaching and research support, free or reduced cost technology and software, and internal and external professional development opportunities.
The process for seeking a faculty appointment is separate from and not included in your physician or clinical onboarding at MedStar Health.
