Teaching responsibilities may include medical students, residents, fellows and post-doctoral students. Clinical responsibilities may include an anatomic or clinical pathology subspecialty. Research or scholarship responsibilities may include development of an independent or highly collaborative research program (as PI, Co-PI or Co-I) in the area of digital and computational pathology. Faculty on the Clinician Educator (CE) track at the Perelman School of Medicine are expected to develop and sustain a record of academic productivity, which includes involvement in collaborative and/or independent research efforts leading to peer-reviewed published works. Faculty on this track are also expected to demonstrate excellence in teaching while those with clinical responsibilities are also expected to demonstrate excellence in clinical care.
