The Abridged Edition of the Academic Guidelines for Promotion and/or Tenure in the School of Medicine

The School of Medicine provides the faculty with numerous on-line resources regarding Promotion and Tenure (P&T). The purpose of this section is to provide an abridged version of the documents found on-line so that a faculty member can see at a glance the highlights of expectations detailed in the official SOM guidelines document for promotion from their current Rank and Track. This abridge version is offered as a helpful tool for planning ahead, however when a faculty member is in the process of submitting their information and going up for promotion (with or without tenure), it is imperative that the official SOM Guidelines document, as well as the SOM Promotion and Tenure website are followed closely as they are the definitive resources.
