The Department of Medicine (DOM) Human Resources Team is committed to fostering a productive work environment by empowering faculty, staff, and leadership through effective talent management, professional development, and a collaborative partnership in achieving departmental and institutional goals.

Faculty Appointment, Promotion, and Tenure

The Department of Medicine Faculty Development Program offers annual sessions on promotion and tenure that provide our faculty with information on this important academic process. Additional information may be found on the websites for the UAB Provost and Heersink School of Medicine Faculty Affairs.

All faculty seeking to advance their academic careers are encouraged to keep scrupulous records of their scholarship, leadership, and academic contributions. This documentation will support a successful application.

• Build and maintain your curriculum vitae in the prescribed format.
• Keep portfolios of your involvement in each mission area – service, research, and teaching. Include documents that demonstrate your effectiveness and achievements.

Performance Evaluation

Managers and employees use performance management to monitor and evaluate job performance, define goals, create action plans, and celebrate achievement. People-centered performance management is a sequence of dialogues, coaching, and feedback fostering an atmosphere where employees can perform to the best of their ability, produce high-quality work, and grow their skills.

The university-wide annual evaluation period is July 1-September 30. For more information, visit the UAB Performance Management site.
