Community Faculty Appointment Process

Getting Started

The Office of Outreach and Community Engagement serves as the initial point of contact for physicians and professionals interested in becoming Community Faculty members.

To begin the appointment process, interested applicants must submit:

  • A current Curriculum Vitae (CV)
  • An identified area of service or educational contribution that supports the mission of the school

Application Process

Applications for Community Faculty appointments are provided by invitation based on current educational program needs.

Once invited, applicants will:

  • Complete and submit the faculty application packet
  • Provide required supporting documentation
  • Submit three peer references
  • Complete credential verification and background screening requirements

All completed application files are reviewed by:

  • Department Leadership
  • Faculty Appointment Committees
  • The Dean of the Foster School of Medicine

A criminal background check through the university’s approved vendor is also required.

Faculty Affairs

The Office of Faculty Affairs oversees the faculty appointment and review process. Once an application packet has been issued, applicants will work directly with Faculty Affairs to complete all required steps.
