Teaching and Education

Given the importance of the educational mission of HMS/HSDM, it is expected that, with rare exception, all faculty will engage in teaching. Faculty will be evaluated for contributions to teaching and educational activities at Harvard and its affiliates. If this is the candidate's first faculty appointment at HMS/HSDM, teaching contributions at institutions where the candidate previously held a faculty position will also be assessed. The metrics below are for those faculty whose area of excellence is not Teaching and Educational Leadership. Teaching of HMS/HSDM medical, dental, and graduate students will be particularly noted.

All faculty will be evaluated unless their area of excellence is Teaching and Educational Leadership.

For more detailed examples of activities and metrics, see the criteria for Teaching and Educational Leadership as an area of excellence.

Since this is not the area of excellence, many faculty may not have recognition for teaching activities or educational scholarship.
