Committees

Exploring Faculty Committee Opportunities

VCHS-AA has created a list of faculty committees within Health Sciences, focusing on those with broad impact and advancing the mission across units. The purpose of this document is to help faculty identify committee involvement opportunities and to inform reviewers about the committee functions, scope, impact, and estimated time commitments for meetings.

Faculty are encouraged to consult with their leadership or mentors for guidance on getting involved. Academic Senate members can also participate in standing committees, with more information available through the UCSD Academic Senate Standing & Special Committees website.

Committee Review Process for Academic Files

Many academic files, depending on review action, rank, and series must be reviewed by a committee of faculty with the expertise to ensure that the work of their colleagues supports the Health Sciences mission of exceptional teaching, research, and patient care.

In order for files to be reviewed in the most efficient manner, they should be submitted by specific deadlines in order to receive necessary committee review. Health Sciences faculty are reviewed by one or even two of the following four committees. Please see below for committee announcements, dates, scheduled deadlines for each committee:
