Committee Charge
Operating as a standing committee of the Council on Academic Personnel (CAP), ClinCAP meets monthly and reviews personnel actions from faculty in the Health Sciences Clinical Professor (HSCP) Series. ClinCAP reviews the following actions in the HSCP series: appointments to Associate or Full; fourth-year appraisals; promotions to Associate or Full; accelerated merit increases; and merit advancements to Step VI and Above-Scale. ClinCAP also reviews other actions, including to change departments, split appointments, and change series to HSCP.
Faculty in the HSCP Series have predominant responsibilities in clinical teaching and patient care, and hold compensated positions in the School of Medicine, School of Dentistry, or an affiliated or associated hospital or other healthcare facility. For appointment and advancement in this series, an evaluation is made of the candidate's teaching, clinical, and creative or scholarly achievements and service contributions, including service to the University, to professional societies, and to the public. The primary emphasis for some candidates will be on teaching, clinical activities, and professional competence, and for other candidates will be on teaching and on scholarly activities as an independent or collaborative investigator. It is expected however, that all HSCP appointees will engage in scholarly or creative activities, which derive from and support their primary responsibilities in clinical teaching and professional and service activities.
