About this book
This book provides insights and recommendations on career planning and academic promotion for clinical faculty members. It also addresses much of the “mythology” surrounding the APT process and demonstrates how academic promotion should be used as a career-building process rather than a daunting high-risk event. Topics include concepts and processes within academic promotion; navigating the academic promotion and tenure process; and managing the outcome of the APT application. Academic Promotion for Clinicians is a valuable resource for clinical medicine faculty members as they engage in and successfully handle the challenges in the APT process and thus realize their career goals.
Reviews
“The purpose is to provide guidance for clinician-educators and their advisors, and describe dilemmas inherent to academic promotions in this changing healthcare environment. … I highly recommend this book for those entrusted with granting academic promotions, for academic leaders concerned with updating promotions criteria, and, especially, for academic clinicians and their advisors trying to navigate a confusing but potentially gratifying process.” (Marjorie Greenfield, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2018)
