For various reasons, female faculty members reach associate and professor ranks at a lower rate than their male counterparts. This holds true both within and outside Mayo. Additionally, many faculty and staff are encouraged to participate in scholarly activity but may have less experience. This course aims to raise awareness of the steps necessary to grow and succeed in scholarly and academic careers.

This course is open to all interested participants.
