Clinical Staff

The Department of Medicine values its relationship with Clinical Faculty and recognizes the indispensable contribution they make to the academic mission, especially through teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate students, but also through clinical research, administration, clinical quality improvement/innovation, and service to the profession.

In recognition of their contributions to the academic mission of the Department, clinical academic colleagues enjoy a variety of benefits from the University of Alberta.

The Department of Medicine sends out a call for Clinical Annual Reports (also known as Clinical Faculty Academic Contribution Reports) in the early fall each year. It is mandatory for Clinical Faculty to submit a Clinical Faculty Academic Contribution Report at least twice during their appointment term. Please check your UAlberta email account regularly. If you have questions, please contact Gloria Jichita, Academic Development Officer at domado@ualberta.ca.

Thank you for your contributions to the Department of Medicine!
