Criteria for Awarding Tenure At the University of 鶹ý School of Medicine, tenure is reserved for faculty members who are among the best in their field of scholarly endeavor, whose achievements in scholarship have been recognized by academicians outside of the University, and whose presence on the faculty enhances the prestige of the University of 鶹ý School of Medicine. Candidates for tenure must be excellent in both scholarship/creative work and teaching, as summarized below: Excellence in Scholarship The first requisite for an award of tenure is excellence in scholarship, which has led to a national and international reputation. Scholarship is defined, in the context of an award of tenure, as the rigorous, systematic study of phenomena or events which leads to a competent mastery of one or more of the medical, allied health or related basic science disciplines. Scholarship refers to advanced study which leads to the acquisition of knowledge in a particular field, along with accuracy and skill in investigation, and the demonstration of powers of critical analysis in interpretation of such knowledge. The definition of scholarship includes the scholarship of discovery (research) as well as the scholarship of application, integration and teaching. l The faculty member's scholarship must provide compelling promise of continued creativity with respect to generating new observations, new concepts and new interpretations related to the individuals scholarly endeavors. Excellence in Teaching The second requisite for the granting of tenure is demonstrated excellence in, and dedication to, teaching. The faculty member must have an outstanding record of success in teaching or mentoring students, residents, fellows or less experienced faculty members. We would appreciate your assessment of whether Dr. ________ has met these requirements for the award of tenure at the University of 鶹ý School of Medicine.
