Upon completion of the third year of a new Academic Appointment, Clinical MD Full-Time Faculty members will be undergo a Continuing Appointment Review (CAR - formerly known as a Three-Year Review).
This review will answer one question: "Given the terms and expectations set out at the time of the probationary appointment, and the academic standards of the Department and Faculty, does the appointee's performance merit a recommendation that the appointee transfer to the system of continuing annual renewal?" (Procedures Manual, Section 3.3.1.2., pp. 19).
The Candidate's contributions to UTDRO's academic mission will be the main focus of this review. Clinical service will be documented, but is not the focus of this review. Academic job description (e.g. Clinical Investigator, Clinician Educator, etc.) will be taken into consideration. Professionalism is a core competency for faculty. It is expected that the candidate demonstrates and promotes professional values amongst our faculty, learners and community.
