The Office of Faculty Affairs and Leadership Development would like to offer a friendly reminder to all faculty to update your curriculum vitae (CV), and a reminder of the promotion and tenure resources available online.


The Office of Faculty Affairs and Leadership Development would like to offer a friendly reminder to all faculty to prioritize continuous updates of your curriculum vitae (CV). The School of Medicine’s standardized CV format is accessible here. Your CV should be updated frequently with your professional experience, honors, products of educational scholarship, talks and other teaching activities, grants, professional service, and more.

The Office of Faculty Affairs and Leadership Development has a breadth of resources on promotion and tenure on the office’s website, including one-page “cheat sheets” and brief videos. “Cheat sheets” are available by track and area of excellence. Each “cheat sheet” outlines the key components of a promotion dossier, the promotion timeline (by rank), and specific criteria for promotion. Videos are also available to provide a more detailed look at the components of a promotion dossier and promotion timelines (by track), as well as promotion criteria by area of excellence (by track).

The UNC School of Medicine Guidelines for Appointment, Reappointment, and Promotion of Faculty are available online. While all faculty members are responsible for their own career success, it is expected that their Chair, Division Chief, and/or another specifically designated senior faculty member will mentor them towards promotion.
