Curriculum Vitae and Candidate's Statement - Showcasing Your Accomplishments

Clinician Educators

Overview

The curriculum vitae and candidate's statement are the faculty member's voice in their reappointment and promotion considerations. They are sent to internal and external referees, who will write letters evaluating the case for reappointment or promotion.  They are also included in the materials that are reviewed by committees at the Department and the School.

Candidate's Statement

The candidate's statement is a two page long discussion of accomplishments in clinical work, teaching and administration, and scholarly research, as applicable.  There is no required format.
