Administrative Information

Clinical faculty members are practicing health professionals. More than 10,000 clinical faculty members contribute to the vision of the Faculty of Medicine and they make significant contributions in administration, professional development, and translational and clinical research.

Important Information for Your Role

There are many advantages and benefits to being Clinical Faculty at UBC, both personal and academic. They range from discounts at the UBC Bookstore and Apple products to faculty development and ethics approvals. It all starts with getting your Campus-Wide Login (CWL), which verifies your identity and provides access to most of UBC’s online systems.

If you would like to be considered for reappointment and promotion, it’s important to track your teaching activities through the Teaching Tracking and Payment System (TTPS). You can also review the criteria for promotion in the Policy on Clinical Faculty Appointments document.

Teaching Activities and the Teaching Tracking and Payment Systems (TTPS)

Teaching activities and evaluations are an important consideration in reappointment and promotion reviews, so we encourage you to maintain a current record of both.

For promotion criteria, review the Policy on Clinical Faculty Appointments.

The Teacher Tracking and Payment System (TTPS) captures your MD Undergraduate Program teaching contributions. If you have been assigned teaching during the quarter, you will receive an e-mail with a link to your quarterly statement shortly after the end of the quarter.  We encourage you to review the teaching on the statement by the due date provided and keep track of postgraduate and other academic contributions manually.

 

Record of your Academic Activities

You are responsible for maintaining a current record of your teaching, research and administrative activities in the form of a CV. This CV must be prepared in UBC CV format if you hold the rank of clinical assistant professor or above.

We have created a UBC CV Guide and Instructions available on the Department of Medicine website to guide you in filling out your UBC CV.  You agree to make such documents available to the Department Head and Division Head, and to other duly authorized representatives of UBC upon request.
