Update on the P&T Committee Configuration, Effective Beginning 2023-24 Cycle
The number of faculty applying for promotions has steadily increased over the past half dozen years, and our committee now consistently reviews over one hundred applications for advancement without any change in the size of the workforce doing these important reviews. To reduce the demands on the individual committee members and allow the focused discussion and review of similar applications, the SOM Promotion and Tenure reviews will now be done by two committees: one for faculty seeking advancement on the Clinical Faculty and Instructional Faculty tracks, and the other for faculty seeking promotion on the Academic Investigator, Clinician Educator, Clinician Investigator, Research Faculty-Support, and Research Faculty-Independent tracks.
