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 9-18 month+ promotion cycle. Promotions are approved twice per year; there are no deadlines to apply.

We applaud these eight faculty members who took the time to attain their promotion, and we thank them for the service they provide in developing future physician investigators at CCLCM.

FACULTY: If you wish to be promoted, visit CCLCM Faculty Affairs Promotions to learn more. All applications are submitted online via our portal. There is no deadline for submitting a promotion application.
