Dossier Preparation
All dossiers are submitted electronically, using Interfolio Review, Promotion and Tenure®, an electronic submission and routing platform. Department administrators are responsible for providing faculty with information on submission of their dossier through this system. The "Interfolio" tab also provides information regarding the Interfolio Review, Promotion and Tenure® system.

Scholarship Information
All faculty in the Regular and Research Professor Series are required to participate in scholarship, as broadly defined in the School of Medicine Rules. All scholarship implies creativity. The products of all scholarship must be in a format that can be evaluated, which would normally mean a written format, but could include video or computer formats. Further information regarding the types of scholarship that are recognized by the School of Medicine is found in the School of Medicine Rules.
In addition, two documents are available that provide information regarding scholarship:
