Clinical faculty members are practicing health professionals. More than 9,000 clinical faculty members contribute to the vision of the Faculty of Medicine. They teach and inspire our learners and are the role models for the next generation of healthcare professionals. They also make significant contributions in administration, professional development, and translational and clinical research.
Clinical faculty are vital to our teaching and research missions. Visit the UBC Faculty of Medicine’s Clinical Faculty webpages for information on appointment, reappointment, and promotion, as well as resources to support you in your career.
