Our Team

We are committed to the well-being and success of all community members. Columbia complies with all applicable civil rights laws and does not engage in illegal preferences or discrimination.

The Office of Faculty Advancement and Community Engagement in the Department of Medicine is led by Christopher Irobunda, MD, PhD, Jim Ovia Professor of Cardiology, as Vice Chair.

Our commitment to providing opportunity and cultivating community is shared at every level of the University. Across the Department of Medicine, the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, and Columbia as a whole, we are working together to produce community collaboration and advance faculty enrichment in the systems and structures of the entire institution.

The Department of Medicine truly believes in faculty and trainee development. Mentorship has the potential to change a young life and to send a student on an exciting new path.
