The process of receiving an appointment or a promotion at the Yale School of Medicine is lengthy, and each department maintains information about its own process, requirements, and timetable. However, there are certain school-wide requirements that apply to everyone.
All appointments and promotions must be approved by one of two Appointments and Promotions Committees, which are composed of the dean or deputy dean of the Yale School of Medicine and senior faculty who represent a wide range of ladder faculty in relationship to department, academic, track, and areas of expertise. The Committees meet from February to June to discuss and vote on faculty proposals submitted by the departments.
Senior Appointments & Promotions (SAP) Committee reviews appointments and promotions to professor in all ladder tracks and to associate professor with tenure at the Yale School of Medicine (other than those reviewed by TACBS). Those of the Yale School of Public Health are only reviewed for the Clinician Educator-Scholar and Academic Clinician Tracks.
Term Appointments & Promotions (TAP) Committee reviews appointments and promotions to associate professor with term in all ladder tracks except the Academic Clinician Track at the Yale School of Medicine. Those of the Yale School of Public Health are only reviewed for the Clinician Educator-Scholar Track.
Clinical Term Appointments & Promotions (CTAP) Sub-Committee is a sub-committee of TAP that reviews appointments and promotions to associate professor with term in the Academic Clinician Track at the Yale School of Medicine and Yale School of Public Health.
Tenure & Appointments Committee of the Biologic Sciences (TACBS) Committee reviews appointments and promotions to tenure for the basic science and bridge departments at the Yale School of Medicine. These include Cell Biology, Cellular & Molecular Physiology, Comparative Medicine, Immunobiology, Microbial Pathogenesis, Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Pharmacology, Genetics, and Pathology.
These Appointment and Promotions Committees review and vote on the Appointments and Promotion of those at the School of Medicine. Members attend approximately two hour-and-a-half meetings a month to discuss candidates that are pre-reviewed by committee members. Candidates for these committees
