Seeking a promotion represents an important milestone in a faculty member’s career. A promotion reflects not only a faculty member’s dedication to teaching, research and professional service but also a strong commitment to their professional development and engagement in the profession.
Faculty who are either assistant or associate professors and want to advance must participate in a 9 to 18 month-plus promotion cycle. Promotions are approved twice per year, and there are no deadlines to apply.
We applaud these 32 faculty members who invested the time and effort to attain their promotion and thank them for the service they provide in developing future physician investigators at CCLCM.
Faculty who wish to be promoted should 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.
