Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings - Call for Manuscripts: Our Greatest Resource in Academic Health Centers: Focus on Faculty Affairs and Faculty Development

LOI DEADLINE SEPTEMBER 1, 2023

The Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings announces a call for manuscripts for a special issue titled “Our Greatest Resource in Academic Health Centers: Focus on Faculty Affairs and Faculty Development.” This special issue will include manuscripts that describe current trends and obstacles across the faculty affairs and faculty development practices within academic health centers (AHCs).

Psychology as a field prepares individuals to understand human behavior, improve decision-making capabilities, build social connections, and increase self-awareness. As professionals and faculty within AHCs, psychologists have a unique advantage to create meaningful and sustainable changes within individuals, groups, and systems. Recent research has focused on improving the well-being of faculty, further understanding burnout and stress, and advancing in leadership development. As psychologists become more involved within leadership, there are increased opportunities to improve and influence current advances in the faculty affairs and faculty development domains.

This special issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings will highlight advances in efforts to recruit, retain, remediate, and develop of faculty within AHCs.
