Clinical Faculty Appointment and Evaluation

The Faculty Handbook cites the following terms of appointment of Clinical Faculty and the procedures for evaluation.²

• Normally, the initial contract for Clinical Faculty will be a 12-month, renewable contract for a term of one year. After an initial three years of satisfactory service, he/she will receive a contract for a term of three years, with subsequent contracts to be renewable for 5-year terms based on successful evaluations and the continued need of the department or college. However, the length of the initial and subsequent contracts can be negotiated based on the qualifications, experience, and needs of the faculty member and the department (School) or college.

While the typical contract for Clinical Faculty across the university is 12 months, the SAHSW may offer 9- month and 11-month contracts. The length of the contract will be based on the established terms of the hire and the specified responsibilities. Regardless of contract length and years of service, Clinical Faculty are reviewed annually according to School procedures
