As an academic faculty member in the UC Davis School of Medicine, we are required to go through a comprehensive review on a recurring basis, for both merit and promotion actions. The areas of review include scholarly activities, education, clinical acumen, service, and contributions to diversity. For background, a merit is a step increase within your rank, while a promotion is the attainment to the next professor rank, whether to the Associate or full Professor level. Although the merit and promotion process at UC Davis Health may seem daunting at first sight, we hope the resources provided to you, along with our knowledgeable administrative coordinators, will be advantageous to your success.
