This includes the coordination of policies and procedures and the oversight of educational, research, and clinical programs within the Department. Additional business operations include grants administration; human resource and salary administration; academic appointments, promotions, and reviews (for both full-time and clinical faculty); clinical practice plan management; administrative support; and website and web applications development and administration. Other ongoing special projects include coordination of continuing medical education activities, faculty retreats, alumni reunions, physician recognition activities and departmental reports. The Department has also developed and implemented an automated annual review process called “FIDO” – Faculty Information Database Online. FIDO is a robust web-based software tool created and managed by the Department of Pediatrics. In addition to automating the review process, FIDO has become a valuable source of data for the Department. Each year FIDO is enhanced and upgraded to become even more valuable, and the hope is to continue to expand the data collected into other applicable areas.
The administrative office is currently comprised of 19 staff members, plus the Chairman and Pediatrician-in-Chief, Stephen Daniels, MD, PhD, who support approximately 500 faculty, 458 clinical faculty, and close to 500 additional administrative and research support personnel, including 182 professional research assistants and associates employed by four different human resource systems (22 paid clinical faculty, 43 state classified, 50 exempt professionals, 18 postdoctoral fellows, 126 hourly employees and 15 work-study students). The Department also manages an annual budget of approximately $100 million, which includes professional fee income, grant and contract revenues, state appropriated funds, restricted funds, and other sources.
