Academic Part-Time Criteria
These criteria are appropriate for individuals who contribute to the academic programs of the Faculty of Medicine but who also have a major commitment to professional activity outside the academic programs of HMS, HSDM, and their affiliated institutions. Faculty promoted by Academic Part-time Criteria have titles that include the modifier 'Clinical' (e.g., Assistant Clinical Professor).
As for full-time faculty, candidates evaluated by Academic Part-time Criteria will have an area of excellence, typically either Teaching and Educational Leadership or Clinical Expertise and Innovation, will be evaluated for Teaching and Education and will report on any Significant Supporting Activities. As for full-time faculty, scholarship is required for promotion to all ranks with the exception of promotion to Assistant Clinical Professor by Longer Service Criteria.
Since Academic Part-time faculty spend a smaller proportion of time in the academic setting, the quantity and impact of their work may be somewhat less than for full-time faculty being evaluated for the same rank. For Academic Part-time faculty, promotion to Assistant Clinical Professor requires a local reputation, to Associate Clinical Professor requires a regional reputation, and to Clinical Professor requires a national reputation in the area of excellence.
