Clinical Care: Active clinical practice by College of Medicine faculty members is the basis for the education of medical students, residents and fellows. Active clinical practice also provides a means to stay current with state-of-the-art medical treatments, procedures, medications, etc. For these reasons, faculty clinical practice programs are essential to Upstate's instructional mission and participation in these programs is a critical responsibility of members of the faculty in clinical departments.

You will establish and maintain reputation as a successful and innovative clinician.
Teaching: Offer clear and effective instruction within your expertise to students in the Colleges of Medicine and Graduate Studies and serve as preceptor/mentor for house staff.

Service: Participate in governance, curriculum development and other forms of academic service, by serving on departmental, institutional and professional committees as appointed or elected.
