Office of Academic Administration

Welcome to the Office of Academic Administration (OAA), which administers all actions related to the processing of faculty and fellows at the School of Medicine.

The OAA is tasked with managing the full scope of actions during the faculty life cycle, including: recruitment, appointment, tenure status, promotion, leave of absence, change in status, and retirement. To do so, the OAA revises documentation and procedures with the goal of providing the APT Partners and Administrators with current, streamlined information. This allows the OAA to provide timely and accurate processing of academic actions. The OAA also serves as an information resource to the Dean, Senior Staff, APT Committee, and other at the School of Medicine and on campus.

The OAA is engaged primarily in the following activities:

  • Processing and maintaining records for the recruitment, appointment, promotion, and awarding of tenure for all faculty.
  • Processing and maintaining records for the appointment of all fellows.
  • Maintaining records for the appointments of all senior staff (Department Administrators and non-faculty Associate and Assistant Deans).
  • Implementing and ensuring compliance with all System, Campus, and School policies relating to faculty and fellows.
  • Maintaining the AAMC Faculty Roster System.
