From New Faculty Orientation to your transition to the Emeritus College, the Office of Faculty Academic Affairs and Professional Development is here to support and celebrate you at all stages of your academic career.
Faculty Academic Affairs and Professional Development
Appointments, Promotions and Tenure
The appointments, promotion, and tenure process can often seem daunting and mysterious. Our team helps to demystify the process by providing resources and support programs to help guide you through the process.
Clinical Distinctions
The Clinical Distinctions (CD) designation program is designed to recognize faculty who have devoted a majority of their time and careers to providing excellence in clinical care. While the CD is not intended to compete with or replace the standard academic promotions mechanism for faculty advancement, it emphasizes the critical contributions of clinically focused faculty in the School of Medicine (SOM).
Celebrating Educator Appreciation Day
Each May, we celebrate Educator Appreciation Day, an opportunity to recognize our incredible educators across the school who go above and beyond the call of duty as teachers and mentors.
Departmental Programming
Many departments in the School of Medicine have dedicated faculty development programs to help their faculty succeed. Explore your department’s resources.
Awards and Recognitions
Recognizing and celebrating faculty members is an important part of the culture at Emory. We are committed to nominating, honoring, and highlighting faculty and their accomplishments throughout the year.
