Professional Editing and Dossier Document Preparation Service

Nationally, each college of medicine has its own required dossier format, submission procedure, cycle timing, and P&T guidelines specific to their clinical department. While guidelines and requirements are accessible and department coordinators provide general direction, busy physician-faculty find that making the time to administratively craft, reformat and find a mentor to critique and review their promotion dossier extraordinarily challenging.1

Physician-faculty, particularly those on non-tenure tracks, desire individualized and hands-on assistance with the editing, and careful preparation of their submission. As an independent organization backed by Dean’s-suite experience, and nearly two decades of academic medicine experience, DLM is poised to address this important need. Physician-faculty in Arizona now have an option to engage in personalized external services to meet their request; allowing them to reclaim their time, and reduce administrative burden.
