UB Profile

UB Profile is a data management tool that allows you to update scholarly, teaching and service activities and future goals in these areas. Data are used to create reports utilized in faculty-chair annual reviews, as well as for other SDM reporting requirements.

Entering your information into the UB Profile database automatically builds your online faculty profile and gives you a powerful tool to create custom CVs. You have to enter your information only once to gain access to all of UB Profile's benefits.

Why Your Faculty Profile Matters

Recruiting

Faculty profiles draw prospective students, residents, fellows, postdoctoral fellows and faculty to our school. They communicate our strengths to individuals, encouraging them to join our educational and research community. Clinicians: your profile also assures potential patients that they can trust you with their health concerns.

Media

Members of the media consult our faculty profiles when seeking subject experts and will refer to yours for background information if they want to interview you. Your profile also supports the stories we publish to the world as an authoritative source.

Your Primary Web Presence

In addition to publicizing your publications, awards, grants and specialties on the School of Dental Medicine website, your UB Profile forms the core of your presence on the UBSDM website.
