Frequently asked questions
When will I receive confirmation of my appointment?
Once your application is approved and all required documents are submitted, you will receive an offer letter. You must accept the offer and return it with your signature. After that, you will receive final confirmation from the department notifying you of your appointment.
If I am a locum, do I still need a Clinical Faculty appointment?
No, unless your locum term is long-term (beyond 6 months). However, if you wish to have a Clinical Faculty appointment, you can request for one.
If I have another active clinical faculty appointment with UBC, what do I need to know?
If you have another active appointment with UBC, you will not be eligible for another CF appointment. However, you can request for an Associate Member appointment.
Associate Member is an unofficial position given to a faculty member when there is a need for members of one department to have a connection with another department, but when a joint appointment is not possible.
Can I provide a bio for the Emergency Medicine Clinical Faculty website?
Yes, you can provide a short bio, which will be added to the Emergency Medicine Clinical Faculty website upon your appointment.
You can submit your bio here: Emergency Medicine Clinical Faculty Bio Submission.
