Tina Simpson, M.D., Adolescent Medicine, has accepted the position of vice-chair for Faculty Development in the Department of Pediatrics (DOP). Dr. Simpson currently serves as the director of the Office of Faculty Development (OFD) in the DOP and will continue in this role. Through her work in the OFD, Dr. Simpson has helped clinicians, educators and research faculty and also addressed the broad issues of engagement and advancement for all faculty in a meaningful way. As a recognition of her efforts and the fact that she is already relied on for critical advice on a wide range of issues, Dr. Mitch Cohen, chair of the Department of Pediatrics, asked her to become a vice-chair. "Faculty development is important and deserves a voice and a seat at the table and I can think of no one better than Tina to have that seat and that voice," said Dr. Cohen. "I am thrilled she will be taking on this new role."

Congratulations Dr. Simpson!
