  • Evidence of exceptional instructional performance in a variety of settings including professional, graduate, and undergraduate students, curriculum development, development of innovative course material, scholarly work related to teaching, and academic advising.
  • Evidence of exceptional research, creative and scholarly activities in traditional, non-traditional or emerging areas with recognition that scholarly distinction can be demonstrated in a variety of ways such as creative synthesis, interpretation and application of existing knowledge, as well as discovery of new knowledge; OR evidence of exceptional clinical service.
  • Evidence of exceptional public outreach achievement in local, national or international settings that builds upon the faculty member’s professional expertise involving such external activities as consultation and technical assistance, policy analysis, organizing continuing medical education programs, program development and evaluation, and public information.
