Special Issues:
MD or MD/PhD faculty can request transfer from one track to
another track at any time prior to application for
promotion. Such faculty requesting move to Academic
Track/Research/Teaching must have demonstrated funding for
research.
Faculty hired in either Academic Track must have a
departmental mentor of record and that mentor must evaluate
and document progress in Track at least every three years
(documentation must accompany promotion applications).
