Seeking a promotion represents an important step in a faculty member’s career. A promotion demonstrates not only a faculty member’s dedication to teaching, research and professional service, but also a commitment to their career and engagement in the profession.

Faculty who are either assistant or associate professors and want to advance must go through a year-and-a-half promotion cycle. We applaud these 41 faculty members who took the time to attain their promotion and thank them for the service they provide in developing future physician investigators at CCLCM.

FACULTY: If you wish to be promoted, please visit the CCLCM Faculty Affairs Promotions page to learn more. All applications are submitted online via our portal. Applications for the next cycle begin this fall and must be submitted before the Jan. 31, 2022, deadline, which is earlier than the Case Western Reserve University promotion deadline.
