<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">This document provides guiding principles to assist faculty in preparing their documents for advancement in clinical rank promotion (Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, or Clinical Professor). This is not a tenure leading track. The number of clinical faculty cannot exceed 40% of the total number of faculty. Included are areas of accomplishment that the committee uses in their process of reviewing the faculty documents and forming a recommendation to the Dean. The examples in this document are examples areas of evidence that the faculty will describe to demonstrate their accomplishments in their narratives. The committee anticipates that faculty members may have unique accomplishments to cite in their areas of evidence. </p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Promotion in clinical rank is available for masters or doctorally prepared faculty members holding a Special Appointment. Those with a master’s degree in nursing and limited academic experience will start at the rank of Clinical Instructor; exceptions can be made for those with outstanding experience. The highest rank possible for the masters prepared individual is a Clinical Assistant Professor.  The highest rank possible for the doctoral prepared individual is a Clinical Professor.  </p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">If an individual has a Health Professions Appointment (HPA) and wishes to seek an appointment for a clinical rank, he/she will need to request a change from a HPA to a Special Appointment. Consideration of transfer between tracks represents a major career decision and is pursued only after serious consideration of the implications of such a change, and careful deliberation between the faculty member and appropriate Division Assistant Dean. If mutually agreeable, a one-time, one-way transfer is allowed between a HPA and a clinical track appointment.</p>
