The
School of Medicine and each of its faculty members share a fundamental
interest in sustaining and facilitating the faculty's continuing
enthusiasm and effort in scholarship, teaching, and professional
service. The school's policy on faculty
development reflects its high
priority on maintaining and developing every faculty member's
professional engagement throughout his or her career.
In each department of the School of Medicine, the Chair conducts
periodic professional development reviews, based on performance
in the areas of teaching, scholarship, and service, with each
regular, full-time faculty member who holds primary appointment
in the department. The Chair and faculty member also create
a professional development plan for the faculty member.
General criteria for performance and promotion in these areas
are included in the School of Medicine
Guidelines
for Appointment, Promotion, and Tenure.
