Faculty Career Development Series
The ITHS Career Development Series consist of monthly lectures and workshops designed to provide junior faculty and investigators with tools, a forum for discussion, and learning opportunities to help advance their careers.
Topics
Topics are selected based on an annual needs assessment.
Example topics include:
- How to Write an NIH K Award

Where can I find a CDS event?
ITHS partners with several UW campus and WWAMI regional partners to ensure we reach and engage the translational workforce with each series. CDS events occur across the main UW campus, in the UW Medicine South Lake Union building, and are often captured on video and edited for online distribution to our regional partners. Many of our offerings are also broadcast live as webinars to allow for flexible viewing opportunities. Check out the calendar for specific upcoming event topics and locations.

Description
How can your team accelerate its effectiveness in working together to achieve your shared goals? In this session, we will examine three key “Enabling Conditions” from the Six Conditions for Team Effectiveness Framework:
- Sound Structure/Work Design,
- Supportive Context/Organizational Support, and
- Team Coaching.
At the end of this session, you will have a clearer idea of how each of these enabling conditions contributes to team development and effectiveness, as well as practical ways to make improvements.
