Faculty

Faculty physicians in the Department of Pediatrics at IU School of Medicine are nationally and internationally recognized as specialists in their fields. Led by Chair Wade Clapp, MD, the department has more than 300 faculty members who are engaged in teaching, research and patient care. Many faculty members are leaders within pediatric professional organizations and research consortiums and are recognized for contributions that have improved the practice of pediatrics beyond Indiana

With their commitment to be the best so they can train the next generation of exceptional pediatricians, it’s no surprise that pediatric faculty are routinely recognized by medical students, residents and fellows for their teaching and mentorship.

Get Involved

Part of professional growth includes getting involved in committees across the health system and school. Committees represent an opportunity to participate in the work of our institution.

The Pediatrics Faculty Development Committee also plans social events each year (e.g. trivia night, annual holiday party, picnic).

Faculty Development Programs

Faculty in the Department of Pediatrics have access to a variety of school-wide and department-specific faculty development programs.

Leadership in Academic Medicine (LAMP) is a program for faculty in the second and third year of their appointment. This school-wide program teaches faculty members valuable leadership skills and is also a great way to meet other faculty from across the school.

The Faculty Development Committee provides an education series workshop that is open to all faculty members within the department.
