Eligibility

The program is open to physicians with state licenses to practice in the healthcare field.

Non-physicians, e.g. psychologists, nurses, social work professionals, may be appointed in the clinical faculty series as long as they have the terminal degree and a state license to practice in the field, as well as certification of registration by a national society when available.





This program is not for faculty who hold a position at UCR Health or UC affiliated health providers who have been credentialed through the medical staff office.

Application Process

Physicians who wish to become clinical faculty should submit their up-to-date CV via email to [email protected]. Please make sure that the subject line of your email contains "Community-Based Faculty Application." The CV will be routed to the appropriate coordinator.

After submission, the coordinator will work with the chair of the specialty to complete the Appointment Summary Request Form. The CV and form will be submitted to the Office of Academic Affairs for committee review. Upon approval, the physician will receive an appointment letter which will need to be signed and returned.

The full process takes from four-to-eight weeks to complete.
