Whether you are joining us at an early or advanced stage of your career, I am pleased that you have chosen to contribute your talents, expertise, and energy to our academic community. As someone who is also new to the university, I am especially mindful of the importance of clear guidance, collegial support, and shared purpose as we begin this work together.

This handbook is designed to be a practical reference as you navigate your roles as an educator, researcher, clinician, and academic leader. Within these pages, you will find information about our leadership and governance structures, educational programs, professional development, policies and procedures, research supports, and the many services available to assist you in your work.

You are joining a faculty defined by collaboration, professionalism, and a deep commitment to advancing health through education, research, and service. Our faculty members support one another, and our administrative and leadership teams are dedicated to enabling your success and removing barriers wherever possible. Please ask questions, seek mentorship, and engage with your colleagues.

I look forward to learning from you and working alongside you as we continue to advance the mission of the Faculty of Medicine.
