Clinical (MD) faculty members who hold an appointment as lecturer may be considered for promotion at any time that they meet the requirements for an initial appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor. Promotion on the basis of sustained contribution to the academic mission may occur in the absence of meeting the requirements for initial appointment at Assistant Professor. There is no set timeline, but generally, for the criterion of sustained contribution to the academic mission, the application should demonstrate sustained contributions and scholarship in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine for at least three years.
Status Only faculty members are ineligible to apply for junior promotions. Instead, they must submit a new application and complete an application at the rank of Assistant Professor.
Approval:
The FAAC reviews applications for promotion to Assistant Professor for Full-Time Clinical faculty. The Office of Clinical and Faculty Affairs reviews application for promotion to Assistant Professor for Part-Time and Adjunct Clinical faculty.
