New WUSM CV Workshop
The Executive Faculty has updated the WUSM CV format to include information that Peds has been including on the CEP. We encourage all faculty, but especially those who expect to go up for promotion in the next 12 months, to attend our September workshop. We would also ask all administrative assistants who wish to learn, but especially those who have attended our earlier trainings to attend. We have a WUSM-CV guide that describes what content to place in each WUPS module to generate a document for Appointments and Promotions. We recommend you use this guide as it will answer most of your questions!
September 9 from 12-1 pm in NWT9A
