The College of Medicine has seven faculty title series that acknowledge the varied contributions and focus areas for our faculty. Criteria for promotion:
- College of Medicine Title Series and Tracks (COM-T)
- The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson Guidelines for Promotion and Tenure (COM-T)
Each department has a P&T Coordinator who can provide resources and directions for the candidate. Some departments also have departmental P&T criteria which will be used in place of the college criteria.
