The Merit Review Process for 2017 has been completed. The purpose of the program is to provide evidence based recommendations to the Chair of the Department pertinent to continuing salary support for clinician-scientists. Calls for the 2018 Merit Review will go out to all clinician-scientists in December 2017.

A total of 10 faculty DoM members from across the various divisions and hospitals have been approved for salary support. The total number of applications received was 15, and some applicants were disqualified due to the receipt of career awards. All the applications were deemed meritous, but salary support was limited due to available resources.
