Clinician Educators

Clinician Educators are faculty at the School of Medicine who engage in clinical care and teaching that advances clinical medicine. While not required, Clinician Educators may also engage in scholarly activities and/or perform in an administrative role.

The Clinician Educator role has four ranks: Clinical Instructor, Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, and Clinical Professor. As such, the Clinician Educator line offers many opportunities for reappointment and promotion.

Faculty Handbook

Rank	Initial Appointment or Promotion	Reappointment
Clinical Instructor	Up to 3 years	Maximum number of 3 years in rank. If after 3 years they are not being promoted, need justification
Clinical Assistant Professor	4 years	6 years (renewable, unlimited number of 6-year terms)
Clinical Associate Professor	5 years	5 years (renewable, unlimited number of 5-year terms)
Clinical Professor	5 years	5 years (renewable, unlimited number of 5-year terms)

Onboarding

Faculty will receive an electronic to-do list through the Stanford Onboarding system and can also refer to the onboarding checklist (attached – downloadable form) for a comprehensive list of action items for before and after arrival. New Faculty are assigned an onboarding contact within their Division to assist with the orientation process.

Faculty Onboarding Checklist CE

After arrival, the new Faculty member should be scheduled for a 30-day check-in with the Division Chief and 90-day Check-in with the Chair and Chief.

Please e-mail the completed forms to Shawna Mcmanus.

More information for new Clinician/Educators can be found on the School of Medicine Website

Reappointments/ Promotions

The Pediatrics Academic Affairs staff starts the Clinician Educator reappointment or promotion process approximately 6-8 months before the Faculty member’s end date. Faculty will be contacted directly by a Pediatrics Academic Affairs team member who will work closely with the Faculty member, Division Chief and Evaluation/Committee members. Two of the items that will be requested are an updated CV and Candidate Statement. The required materials vary depending on rank and action (reappointment/promotion), and your Academic Affairs team member will ensure all documents are requested and meet the School of Medicine requirements for the action. Please review the CE Reappointment and Promotion Timeline document below for a detailed description of the process.

Professional Development Leaves

Clinical Assistant Professors, Clinical Associate Professors, and Clinical Professors who are benefits eligible (50% FTE or more and for an appointment of six months or longer) are eligible for PDL. CE’s begin accruing PDL at the start of their term as Clinical Assistant Professor, and accrue 14 days or two weeks per year. Five years of active service are required before becoming eligible to take PDL, and the normal maximum accrual is 70 days.

While an application for PDL is due to Pediatrics Academic Affairs 60 days in advance of the PDL start date, it is strongly recommended to get it in earlier so you have more advance notice of approval before taking PDL.

* Please fill out the following application, sign electronically and save as a PDF; then obtain Division Chief's electronic signature. Note: If you are not a PI on any research projects, you can just write N/A on the RMG “attachment A”. Electronic signatures are required.

**Please complete and submit application a minimum of 60 days prior to the effective date of the PDL.

Instructors

This rank is appropriate for new faculty, generally with M.D., Ph.D. or for those who have recently completed their postdoctoral training, residency or fellowship training. One who has the potential for academic advancement. Instructors are primarily engaged in mentored research and scholarly activities that advance clinical medicine and may have secondary roles in teaching and clinical care. They are generally in the transition from training towards a potential career as a faculty member.

Instructor appointments may be for one, two or three years and may be renewed, upon a showing of high quality performance at Stanford and programmatic need (including budgetary considerations). Appointments are generally limited to a total of three years, unless the candidate secures a mentored grant, an initial independent grant, or other funding consistent with his or her career goals. In that case, the appointment may be considered for an extension for the duration of that award for up to an additional five years, for a total of no more than eight years in rank.

MCL/UTL/NTL

Medical Center Line: Defined by engagement in clinical care, teaching, and scholarly activity that advances clinical medicine. Proportion of time and effort dedicated to clinical care, teaching and scholarship will depend upon the strategic goals and programmatic needs (oftentimes primarily dedicated to clinical care).

University Tenure Line: Scholarship and teaching (and in some cases, clinical care activities) are the critical components of UTL. Typically, the greatest proportion of time and effort is dedicated to scholarship in a broadly defined field.

Non-Tenure Line (Research): Non-Tenure Line is used for special programmatic needs. NTL (Research) faculty generally have special scholarly expertise in a relatively narrow field that is of particular benefit to a broader clinical or research program. FTE typically primarily dedicated to research.

Non-Tenure Line (Teaching): Generally have special expertise in teaching that meets a specific departmental programmatic need. Large proportion of FTE typically primarily dedicated to teaching.

Sabbatical Leaves

The purpose of the sabbatical leave program is to free faculty members from their normal University duties, enabling them to pursue their scholarly interests full-time and maintain their professional standing. Faculty members accrue sabbatical at 2.5 days per month for full time effort. If the Faculty must continue certain duties because there is no one else to cover them and continue receiving an administrative supplement, the Department must request an exception with the Dean’s office. Sabbaticals must be at least one month and no longer than one year in duration.

To apply, please fill out the following application, sign electronically and save as a PDF; then obtain your Division Chief’s electronic signature.

Note: If you are not a PI on any research projects, you can enter N/A on Attachment A. Electronic signatures are required.

**Please e-mail the application to your Departmental Academic Affairs contact a minimum of 60 days prior to the effective date of the sabbatical.

Appointment Changes/Addendums

School policy allows part-time appointment of faculty members, usually for a fixed period of time. The School looks favorably upon family-related needs as a possible justification for granting temporary reductions from full-time to part-time status, such as when the part-time status is expected to exceed the limit of permitted leave.

FTE reductions are made by the School in its discretion and by exception only. Such exceptions must be approved in advance by the department chair and the Senior Associate Dean. FTE changes for MCL/UTL/NTL Faculty must be approved by the Provost. Individuals who are requesting a temporary reduction in their appointment are not allowed to participate in activities that conflict or compete with the University.

If there is a propsed change in FTE, please discuss with your Division Chief and Division Manager. Your Division Manager will work with Pediatrics Academic Affairs and request approval form the Dean's office to move forward with the request.
