Faculty Orientation & Policies

New Faculty Orientation Program

The College of Human Medicine's New Faculty Orientation Program was developed from a recommendation in the Faculty Excellence Task Force Final Report. The overall goal of this program is to supplement University and departmental activities in preparing new CHM faculty for their academic roles. Specifically, the goals of the new Faculty Orientation Program are:

1. to provide a brief introduction to the College and University.
2. to interact with College and University leaders and resource people.
3. to identify and explain expectations for retention, promotion and tenure for different CHM faculty types.
4. to become aware of College and University resources available for research, creative and scholarly activity.
5. to discuss topics and issues of interest to participants.

Handouts for the session are available below. Please note that official forms are revised from time to time. Check with the issuing office to ensure that you have the most recent version of reappointment and promotion forms prior to officially submitting them for review.
