IV. Current School Demographics

A. About the Data

The Professoriate of the School of Medicine is organized into three faculty lines: the University Tenure Line, which is composed of Investigators; the Non-Tenure Line, which is composed of Investigators (Non-Tenure LIne-Research) and Educators (Non-Tenure Line-Teaching); and the Medical Center Line, which is composed of Clinicians/Investigators. The School is committed to promoting a Professoriate that values equally the activities and contributions of all scholars, including Investigators, Educators and Clinicians, and to establishing a single community of faculty that embraces all of the contributions of School of Medicine faculty and their University and community-based partners in the fulfillment of the School's mission.

Over the past few years, the School of Medicine has made slow but steady progress in bringing diversity to the ranks of its faculty. As reflected in these charts, we still have work to do in addressing the important issues of equity and career development in academic medicine, a challenge that is shared by our peer institutions.

Created in 2004, the Office of Diversity and Leadership has been working with leaders across the School to overcome these imbalances and to enhance the diversity of our broader community. Significant accomplishments have included revision of the search process, education of search committees around issues of unconscious bias, and provision of resources to broaden the diversity of applicant pools, all of which are described in this Guide to Faculty Searches. We are committed to championing a diverse and inclusive community which is the inspiration and foundation for our excellence and achievements. (Note: Demographics on the Clinician/Educator line are available through the Office of Academic Affairs).
