and receive either a separate paycheck from that outside entity or from a University account that is reimbursed by the outside entity for those activities. In addition, the tracks are designed so that a faculty member may request to transfer, within limitations set by the College of Medicine and university policy, and the UC/AAUP contract, from one track to another consistent with the career goals and qualifications of the faculty member, and if there is an opportunity for appointment in a different track. For example, if a faculty member appointed in the Clinical Service Track (Non-Tenure eligible) develops meritorious clinical and teaching skills, demonstrates interest and ability in clinical research and/or educational activities, and desires to pursue these interests in a more committed way, it may be appropriate for that individual to transfer to the Clinical Investigator (tenure) Track. Progression in this latter track requires more emphasis on clinical research, health care improvement and educational activities in addition to clinical practice. This mechanism allows junior medical faculty members time to develop substantial research skills before entering the Clinical Tenure Track, which currently has a ten-year limitation for acquiring the credentials required for tenure. Similarly, a research faculty member on a non-tenure track could transition to the Research Tenure Track after demonstrating the potential for a self-sustaining research program through quality publications and grant funding.
