role in mentoring. Recognition as an excellent teacher and mentor is important. They are also expected to provide service in support of the institution and profession.
Faculty in the Clinical Investigator Tenure Track are expected to act in a professional manner in their interactions with students, trainees, patients, families and colleagues. They are expected to maintain a high standard of ethics in research. Tenure is granted in recognition that the faculty member has fulfilled in a preeminent fashion the qualities of a scholar and has demonstrated excellence in research, clinical care, mentoring, teaching, service and leadership. Significant and sustained funding from multiple sources and/or funding by competitive, peer-reviewed grants from federal sources is a primary criterion for the granting of tenure. A sustained record of high-quality, high- impact, peer-reviewed publications is also expected. Faculty members who focus on health care improvement science are also eligible for tenure via the Clinical Investigator Track. Efforts that result in breakthrough clinical system improvements that are sustained and replicated regionally and nationally, national or international recognition for creation of novel improvement programs, or leadership roles in multisite networks that focus on outcomes, health services and improvement research are all favorably viewed in tenure decisions. Tenure is only granted if the faculty member serves as a role model in acting in a professional manner in interactions with patients and families, colleagues, and trainees, and maintains a high standard of ethics in research. Tenure is only granted to a faculty member at the Associate Professor and Professor levels. Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center serves as the Department of Pediatrics for the College of Medicine. Faculty appointments in the Department of Pediatrics are affiliated faculty appointments within the College of Medicine. Affiliated faculty may receive tenure; however, a tenure designation does not confer a specific or lifetime term of employment. Because the College of Medicine is not the employer of affiliated faculty, the College of Medicine considers tenured affiliated faculty appointments only to mean that as long as the faculty member is employed by the affiliate institution, the faculty member will not be required to submit for reappointment of their faculty title.
