In 2021, Johns Hopkins ACCM launched the Visiting Professor Exchange to sponsor faculty in delivering and attending virtual lectures across multiple institutions. The program has seen tremendous success. Faculty are encouraged to speak in any scholarly area, including clinical practice, education, research, diversity, safety, and other topics. Speakers are encouraged to develop the lecture with a mentor’s guidance, practice the lecture in advance with peers, and obtain feedback on their slides.
Disseminating scholarly work is essential to advancing medicine. It always will be. By expanding opportunities for faculty to disseminate their work, the Visiting Professor Exchange benefits the audience, the speakers, and institutions as a whole. Our goals are to advance academic anesthesiology, promote career advancement, and shape the field of medicine. Visiting lectureships spark new collaborations, foster opportunities, and advance projects. Speakers gain national recognition for their work, a key piece to promotion, and often receive invitations to speak at additional venues.
If you are interested in participating in the Visiting Professor Exchange or if you can assist with fostering connections with new institutions, email Dr. Jenny Lee (Jennifer.lee@jhmi.edu).
