Forging New Ground as Clinical Faculty

Abstract

Clinical faculty in universities must strive to create balance. Some clinical faculty are expected to develop teaching, service, and scholarship as part of their position while other clinical faculty positions only require teaching and service; scholarship is not an expectation. The expectations put forth to clinical faculty can feel unclear and frustrating. The goal of this piece is to provide perspective and clarity for those who are seeking it in the world of what it means to be clinical faculty in an education preparatory program.
