Upcoming Promotion and CV Webinars

These live sessions cover the promotion process at each rank, the Faculty of Medicine CV, and the CV Generator. Each runs 60–90 minutes followed by a 30-minute Q&A.

The Q&A is the reason to attend live. Bring your own situation, or one you're handling on a faculty member's behalf — sessions are open to all HMS/HSDM faculty regardless of affiliation, and to administrative professionals.

Sessions are not recorded. Recorded versions of each topic are available in the Promotion and CV Video Library, though they don't include the Q&A.

Listings are updated regularly and subject to change.
