The general process for faculty reappointment is the same for Clinical and Academic tracks. Faculty members will be notified by Academic Affairs Manager Holly Wilker when their reappointment materials are due. 

• For clinical faculty, you are notified in July or August of the year before your term ends. 
• For academic faculty, you are notified the summer before your term ends.

When you are notified, you will be asked to submit:

• Updated CV in Brown format
• A brief letter indicating your interest in reappointment that outlines your teaching and/or research activities over the past few years (since your last appointment term began). For clinical faculty only, you can complete this Google form instead of a letter.
• Service chief letter supporting your reappointment. For clinical faculty reappointments, service chiefs can use this Google form instead of a letter. For academic faculty reappointments, service chiefs can use this Google form instead of a letter.
• Copies of teaching evaluations or teaching evaluation summary (if appropriate)
• For clinical faculty only, evidence of participation in one teaching development activity (must be activity presented by DPHB or Alpert Medical School's Program in Educational Faculty Development office). Completing an on-demand pre-recorded video on a teaching development topic, available on the Brown CME site, also meets the requirement. (https://cme-learning.brown.edu/EFDOnDemand#group-tabs-node-course-default4)
• For clinical faculty only, Teaching Hours Breakdown form. (Download the form to fill it out.)

Once the required reappointment materials are submitted, your reappointment will be included on the agenda for the next appropriate DPHB faculty committee meeting. If approved, it will then be sent to the BioMed Faculty Affairs office for processing and Dean’s approval. The reappointment candidate will then receive an official letter from the Dean indicating approval.

If your reappointment is NOT approved, you will be notified in advance, either via letter or by discussion with service chief or training director.

Annual and Midterm reviews are requested ONLY of academic faculty.

• Annual reviews for junior (Instructor and Assistant Professor level) academic faculty are requested every year. 
• Reviews for senior level (Associate & full Professor level) academic faculty are requested at the “mid-term” point of their term of appointment (typically 2 years into the 5 year term). 
• These reviews are requested by the Manager of Academic Affairs. 
• The request for reviews is sent to the DPHB service chiefs, with a list of those faculty members for whom they are responsible. 
• The reviews/evaluation forms are then filled out by the service chief & faculty member, along with participation from the mentor, and then submitted back to the Department. 
• The DPHB Academic Faculty Appointments, Reappointments & Promotions Committee then discusses the reviews and offers feedback in written format as to whether or not the faculty member is “on track” for promotion and performing productively. 
• That feedback is then sent back to the mentor and/or service chief for communication with the faculty member.
