Chapter 10: The Provost\u27s Office: Acting on a Mandate and A Personal Goal

Dr. Dmitrovsky begins by sketching the major functions of the Provost\u27s Office and then talks about initiatives he has undertaken to address low faculty morale. He talks about the importance of listening and explains how he set about hearing faculty concerns. He first explains initiatives set in place to address the faculty\u27s impression that the depth and scope of excellence among the current faculty is unrecognized: the R. Lee Clark Fellowship Program; the Clinical Innovator Award Program. He discusses investments made to relieve the monetary burden of running clinical trials and conducting genomic testing. Using examples, he explains the measures taken to relieve many instances of regulatory burden.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/1642/thumbnail.jp
