OSU Department of Psychiatry
Request for Auxiliary Faculty Status
Psychiatrists and other health professionals who are interested in providing education
and/or participating in patient care or research at the OSU Department of Psychiatry are
encouraged to apply for auxiliary faculty status. The initial step in this process is to send
a request for faculty status to the OSU Department of Psychiatry Chairman, Radu
Saveanu, MD. The applicant should include a copy of a current curriculum vitae and a
brief statement regarding his/her professional interests and rationale for pursuing faculty
status.
Once the request is received, it will be forwarded to the Appointments, Promotion and
Tenure (AP&T) Committee for review and consideration. The Committee will forward a
recommendation to the Chairman, who will then provide a written response to the
applicant, generally within two months of the receipt of the initial request.
If the response is affirmative, a letter of offer and related attachments outlining
requirements, expectations, length of appointment, benefits, and legal requirements will
be sent to the faculty candidate, along with a copy of the OSU Department of Psychiatry
AP&T Guidelines.
Typically, faculty appointments are designated for a one-year period. During this time,
the contributions and performance of the faculty member will be reviewed by the AP&T
Committee according to departmental guidelines. Consideration for continuation
advancement, or termination of faculty appointment can be initiated by the faculty
member, AP&T Committee or the Chairman of the Department.
