How to prepare for your promotion
Appointments and promotions are guided by the School of Medicine's Guidelines on Appointment, Promotion, and Tenure. Visit Appointments, Promotions and Tenure for more detail about the promotions process within the School of Medicine.
Here are recommended steps to take in preparation for your promotion:
- Step 1: Regularly update your promotion documents, including your CV, and teaching and service portfolios. Please do not wait until promotion time!
- Step 2: Read the School of Medicine's guidelines on appointment, promotion, and tenure and discuss any questions with your division director or mentor. Additional information on the senior promotion process is available online from the School of Medicine.
- Step 3: Attend a CV building workshop and learn how to best prepare your CV.
- Step 4: Attend a CV review session, where a member of the Promotions and Tenure Subcommittee will help you know if you are on track for promotion.
- Step 5: Submit your CV and promotion self-assessment once solicited by the Promotions Coordinator, which will be after you’ve met the minimum time in rank (five years between assistant and associate professor and four years between associate professor and professor).
