• Investigator Clinician / Educator Track, a full-time tenure track…for those faculty in the clinical departments whose primary career combines independent research with clinical activities and who devote some time to education and service.

• The goal of the committee is to provide the junior faculty member with a critical assessment of his/her progress.

• Two senior faculty, including one from the same department.

• Meet annually.• The committee must provide annual written reports to

the faculty member, the department Chair and (where appropriate) the Program Coordinator/Division Director.

LCME Self-Study Regarding Feedback

• A survey was sent to all junior faculty in April 2006.
