Clinical Scholar is an entry-level role given to early career clinical faculty members who are in their first clinical faculty appointment. Clinical Scholars are considered equivalent to Clinical Instructor in function; however, they are expected to be engaging in concurrent training to advance their personal academic goals (e.g., Fellowship/Diploma, MSc, PhD, JD, LLM, etc.).
Clinical Instructor is a role given to those who have decided to focus exclusively on teaching and clinical care as their areas of focus. Normally, it is expected that Clinical Instructors will seek promotion within 5-6 years to the rank of Clinical Assistant Professor.
Please see the table below for an overview of the appointments, ranks, minimum annual contribution hours, and required areas of contribution for part-time appointments. Review the Clinical Faculty Policy to learn more about the roles and responsibilities of each rank.
Clinical Adjunct Faculty
Clinical adjunct faculty are clinicians who contribute at least 10 hours per year to clinical supervision, SRC activities and innovation, or other meaningful educational activities aligned with the mission of the School. Clinical adjunct faculty appointments are status only and are not normally remunerated by TMU; they are also not eligible for an academic rank.
