Clinical (MD) Full-Time Academic Appointments
Description:
These physicians are usually active staff at a fully affiliated or, occasionally, at a community-affiliated teaching hospital. They belong to a practice plan that supports academic work financially. Their academic work, which includes teaching in patient care, accounts for at least 80% of their professional working time.
A Clinical (MD) Full-time Equivalent appointment involves working part-time, but with 80% or more of the physician's professional working time devoted to academic work.
