Academic Advancement Workshops are targeted for faculty who wish to better understand the process of academic advancement and for those who will soon prepare their nomination packets for consideration for promotion. Each workshop includes overviews of general information and opportunities for faculty to discuss their specific categories and questions.
Academic Advancement I: Understanding the Academic Categories and Promotion System
Designed for faculty hired within the last three years, this workshop describes the academic advancement process, the categories and tracks available for faculty, and provides suggestions for success. Small break out sessions allow faculty to learn more about the criteria and strategies for documentation for their unique academic category.
This video presentation is designed for tenure track, in-residence track and affiliated track faculty appointed within the last three (3) years, or faculty in those tracks who have never attended one of these workshops. Ideally, one would attend in the first year of the initial faculty appointment. This video describes the academic advancement process, the faculty tracks and categories, and provides suggestions for success.
Academic Advancement II: Refresher for those in the Medical Educator and Clinician-Scholar professional categories
Designed for junior faculty, this refresher workshop reviews promotional criteria and uses small group consultation to help faculty review their accomplishments and make choices about future activities for academic success and promotion. Participants bring CVs and brief descriptions of curricula or services developed (if any) for review and discussion. Associate Professors in these categories working toward the next promotion will find this workshop useful as well.
Academic Advancement II will not be videotaped. If you would like an on-line refresher, please view Academic Advancement I.
Academic Advancement III: Preparing Your Promotion Package
This workshop is for faculty who will seek promotion in the next academic year. The workshop describes the criteria for promotion for all faculty categories and tracks, the promotion process, and the Senior Appointments and Promotion Committee (SAPC). Faculty will consider strategies for active participation in this process, including effective presentation of their accomplishments and selection of references.
This video presentation is designed for faculty in the tenure, in-residence and affiliated tracks who will be nominated for promotion in the next cycle.
