ASCO Accepting Applications for Summer Institute for Faculty Development Program
ASCO is now accepting applications to its ninth biennial Summer Institute for Faculty Development (SIFD), a program that promotes increased retention of faculty in the schools and colleges of optometry. The deadline for applications to the SIFD is September 30, 2021.
SIFD is co-chaired by Dr. Tiffenie Harris (WUCO) and Dr. Daniel Roberts (ICO). The program has been restructured into a program that includes both virtual and in-person sessions covering teaching, learning, scholarship and academic culture. The program will begin with virtual sessions in January 2022 and concluded with the in-person program in July 2022. The in-person Institute is scheduled for July 10-12, 2022, at Alcon’s headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. Participants are expected to attend all sessions and mentor group meetings, in addition to completing pre-and post-program assignments.
All applications must be approved by the dean/president of the applicant’s institution before submission to ASCO. While up to two applicants from each school and college of optometry will be selected to participate in the program, institutions are encouraged to submit additional applicants.
