Promotion in academic rank is an honor and recognition of your accomplishments and contributions. As a GSO faculty member, we will ask you to continue to support medical students, residents, and faculty in their pursuit of academic women’s health through research and academic mentorship. We believe your mentorship and support will provide opportunity for others in our large national faculty to be as successful as you have been in your career.
Promotion Eligibility
Promotion from one rank to another is not granted based solely on time in each rank, rather, by your clinical, educational, professional, and scholarly accomplishments and contributions. The progression in these levels is fully detailed in USU Instruction 1100A.
