Appointments to these ranks are recommended by the chair and approved by the Dean. They do not require the approval of committees within the department or the School of Medicine.

1. Lecturer. Appointments at this rank are normally on a one‑year basis. To hold the rank of lecturer, a person must make contributions to the academic program through approved educational activities.

2. Instructor. This rank is available for individuals who have recently completed professional training and who wish to embark on a full‑time academic career. The appointment is made for a maximum of three one-year renewable terms.

This rank is also available for trainees in clinical fellowship programs who are qualified by prior training to provide independent clinical services and serve as teachers in fields of medicine. For such individuals the term of appointment is a one-year secondary appointment that may be renewed for the length of the fellowship. The years served as a secondary appointment instructor are not included in the total number of years available as a primary appointment instructor (see above).

3. Clinical Instructor or Assistant Clinical Professor of Social Work in Psychiatry or in the Child Study Center. These ranks will be used for social workers who do not qualify for or who do not desire regular academic rank.
