Abstract
Health professionals who teach may be salaried health sector employees who are directly engaged by a higher education institution in adjunct or conjoint academic appointments. Many teaching health professionals also provide learning activities through good will and altruism. Another group consists of academics with health professional degrees for whom academia is the primary employment; these professionals may engage in professional clinical practice in only a limited capacity.
