FSM Promotion Pathway
All physicians in the Department of Pediatrics at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital have an academic appointment through the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Faculty who practice at the main campus may have an appointment within the Clinician-Educator track of Instructor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor; physicians based solely at outreach hospitals have an appointment within the Health System Clinicians track of Clinical Assistant Professor, Clinical Associate Professor, or Clinical Professor.
Promotion on all regular faculty tracks requires evidence of scholarly activity, although the amount and type of such activity varies for the different tracks. Visit the NUFSM Faculty Affairs Office website for more information on appointments, promotion, and tenure, and instructions on how to prepare your promotion packet.
The Dept of Pediatrics APT Committee has also prepared this check list for preparing your CV and personal statement for promotion.
All materials for the FSM promotion and tenure process must be submitted to the Department of Pediatrics Office of Faculty Development at ofd@luriechildrens.org by April 18. Please copy your Division Head. If you do not receive a confirmation of receipt within 24 business hours, please contact ofd@luriechildrens.org. Click here for packet instructions.
Please see the Feinberg “Faculty Career Tracks” for information regarding the tracks that are available to faculty.
