About the Office for Faculty Affairs
The Faculty of Medicine encompasses all faculty of both the Medical School and the Dental School. There are, as of June 2006, 834 Professors, 1,253 Associate Professors, 1,937 Assistant Professors, and 6,066 Annual Appointees including Instructors and Lecturers. The size of the faculty reflects the fact that they are the teachers not only of medical students and graduate students, but also of more than 7,300 trainees in the 18 affiliated institutions. These trainees include interns, residents, clinical fellows, and postdoctoral fellows (research fellows).
In order to support the teaching, research, and patient care missions of the Medical School, the Faculty has developed a set of committees and processes in the areas of faculty appointments, governance, research issues including conflict of interest and faculty conduct, fellowships, career planning/counseling, and diversity. The major committees which OFA supports are described in the Faculty Appointments section of this document. A full listing of the Faculty Standing Committees and their membership can be found in the Standing Committees booklet.
