Many medical schools struggle to identify an appropriate system to award faculty rank to non-tenured physician faculty. A key element needs to be balanced recognition of teaching and scholarly activities. At the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine (NEOUCOM), clinical teaching is accomplished predominantly by volunteer physician faculty whose major responsibilities are patient care and teaching. In addition to our system for awarding rank to faculty in a tenure track, NEOUCOM devised a system for awarding faculty rank to volunteer, non-tenure physician faculty that equitably recognizes teaching, service, and scholarly activity with assigned "units" of accomplishment for each criterion. We now have an effective two-track system for our non-tenure physician faculty that objectively assesses and recognizes academic productivity in all three areas and standardizes requirements for promotion. This paper discusses 3 years of experience with this two-track system and its effect on the rank of physician faculty in the Department of Family Medicine.
许多医学院校都在努力寻找一种合适的体系，来给非终身制的医师教员授予教职级别。一个关键要素是要平衡对教学和学术活动的认可。在俄亥俄州东北部大学医学院（NEOUCOM），临床教学主要由志愿医师教员完成，他们的主要职责是患者护理和教学。除了我们给终身制教员授予级别的体系外，NEOUCOM还设计了一种给志愿的、非终身制医师教员授予教职级别的体系，该体系通过为每个标准分配“成就单位”来公平地认可教学、服务和学术活动。我们现在为非终身制医师教员建立了一个有效的双轨体系，该体系客观地评估和认可所有三个领域的学术产出，并使晋升要求标准化。本文讨论了这个双轨体系三年来的经验及其对家庭医学系医师教员级别的影响。
