Tenure Track

The Tenure Track is designed for faculty pursuing sustained academic achievement across the School of Medicine’s missions of investigation, education, clinical practice advancement, and administration/service. Faculty are expected to demonstrate excellence in two areas, one of which must be investigation, and effectiveness in the remaining areas, with scholarship and dissemination beyond the institution supporting excellence in investigation. 

Areas of accomplishment pertinent to review of SOM faculty members include:

• Investigation
• Education
• Clinical Practice Advancement
• Administration / Service in Support of the Missions (“Service”)
