Faculty Performance Evaluations

The School of Medicine (SOM) is committed to supporting the ongoing professional growth of its faculty in their capacities as educators, researchers, and lifelong learners. 

We place great emphasis on conducting regular faculty assessments and performance evaluations, employing systematic review processes. These evaluations are designed to assist each faculty member in achieving their career objectives while aligning with the overarching mission, objectives, and priorities of the school and its various departments.

Comprehensive guidelines for these evaluations are outlined in the SOM's Faculty Performance Evaluation Policy and Procedures, found on the SOM policies page, providing detailed insights into the assessment framework and expectations. The following includes a summary of the process pertinent to faculty members.
