Faculty Affairs

Jefferson faculty are the heart of our university. They are the educators, scholars, researchers, scientists and inventors who enable us to achieve our mission. The Office of Faculty Affairs exists to support this vital community, offering resources for faculty to develop, grow and succeed. Learn about professional development resources, find ways to connect with peers and access resources such as the Faculty Handbook and Bylaws on our site.

Colleges

What began as Jefferson Medical College in 1824, with our commitment to education, discovery, innovation and compassionate patient care, has grown exponentially with Sidney Kimmel Medical College, and our ten other colleges, schools and institutes – making us one of the nation's leading learning institutions. Now with our Center City, East Falls and other satellite campuses throughout the Philadelphia metro region, we offer a unique learning environment to experience all that is Jefferson.
