Study and understand the promotion criteria for your track
 Non-tenure pathways (NTPs) may be best for faculty members
with young children
 NTPs allow for rational appointment of junior faculty members on
basic & clinical scientists pathways who need 10 years to obtain
independent funding
 NTPs allow for rational appointment of part time faculty
 Instructors – find your niche!
Assignment to an academic pathway comes with
promotion to Assistant Professor
 Tenure
Guarantees the right of continuous appointment
Does not guarantee salary level
7-year tenure clock begins with appointment at the
rank of Assistant
Read the UAMS College of Medicine

DOCUMENT

 Academic
success requires individual
commitment of well-prepared people,
and great teamwork
 Great teamwork requires the respectful,
purposeful interactions of
knowledgeable and skillful people
 Individual and team success is best
supported by a culture that can be
characterized as “professional.”
 An on-going initiative to increase our mindfulness
about our professional behavior (self-monitoring)
 Foster a professional work environment in which we
can all thrive
 Support a culture of safety for patients, a good learning
environment for students, and a good place to work for
the whole UAMS community
 Illumine is a database, accessible to anyone with a
UAMS and/or ACH logon, via the UAMS Intranet and
the MyACH homepage.
 Illumine is the database into which reports can be
made about witnessed breaches of the UAMS COM
Faculty Professionalism Guideline. Reports are
assessed by the Dean’s Senior Advisory Council.

The Dean’s Senior Advisory Council
• A standing committee of the College, appointed by the
Dean; members are known for their good judgment,
fairness, and professional behavior
• Meets quarterly to assess reports made to ILLUMINE
Is there evidence that an individual physician appears to
be demonstrating a pattern of repeatedly unprofessional
behavior?
• If “yes” – provide the physician with the evidence,
confidentially (an Awareness Intervention)
• If reports continue to be filed after an Awareness
Intervention – apply the model of progressive interventions
