Faculty Third & Sixth Year Review
The third- and sixth-year reviews provide each full-time, junior, tenure-track faculty member with a critical assessment of his or her progress. The review can give junior faculty an opportunity to obtain advice pertinent to their academic career.
Advice can include suggestions on relevant activities, such as teaching, research, and scholarly achievements. The review may also serve as a source of practical advice on preparing manuscripts, grant applications, and presentations in teaching or research seminar venues.
- Process: In September of each academic year, Faculty Services notifies the chair and departmental administrator of each department in which faculty are eligible for review.
Credentialing
- What is CACTUS?
The CACTUS Software is a computer technology that allows healthcare organizations to credential and maintain all state licenses and certifications to ensure regulatory compliance.
- How does CACTUS work?
CACTUS is the database in which all provider information is stored for consistency and confidentiality in the credentialing process. It has a built-in interface with the National Practitioner Data Bank and Office of Inspector General.
What is AppCentral?
AppCentral is the software that maintains the faculty credentialing application and distributes it electronically. All information on the e-application is automatically sent back to CACTUS for verification.
