Summit Speaker

Many of our faculty members are invited all over the country, all over the world, to discuss their unique insights, yet they may speak only infrequently at their “home” institution. The Summit Speaker is an annual opportunity to feature a BCM faculty member, speaking about their career journey or a professionalism topic of their choice.

Muffins with Mentors

This program offers an informal setting for students and junior faculty to meet with a senior BCM faculty member regarding their career journey and insights into successes, what keeps them motivated and what challenges they have faced.
