OFA Faculty Promotion Consultation: Pre-meeting Intake Form

Thank you for completing the brief Pre-meeting Intake Form below, and for providing your current Faculty of Medicine CV, which will help us assign, track and shape our conversation with you.  Please note that due to the high volume of requests that we receive, appointments may be scheduled several weeks after the date of your request. All meetings will be held virtually.

Faculty Promotion Consultations are intended for those faculty who have already reviewed our promotion materials on the OFA website and/or have attended a promotion webinar and still have major questions in advance of their potential promotions to Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor ranks. Due to current resource limitations, we cannot provide routine CV consultations to trainees, candidates for instructor, or faculty not being imminently considered for promotion. For specific questions related to CV formatting, please send to ofa_promotions@hms.harvard.edu

Please also keep in mind that the promotion process must be initiated by departments and the role of the OFA is advisory. All discussions related to Faculty Promotion Consultations are considered confidential and will not be shared with your department, unless you specifically instruct us otherwise.
