Promotion for adjunct faculty members is based on the 2024 School of Medicine criteria. Readiness for promotion will be determined with your point people and the Vice Chair for Faculty Development, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The departmental adjunct faculty promotions committee, comprised of full-time faculty and adjunct faculty, reviews promotion materials for adjunct faculty and recommends an action to the Department Chair and the Vice Chairs.
