We are pleased to announce the formation of the VCHS Service Core – Academic Affairs Office.  This new unit was established to provide the highest quality service to faculty members and Departments.  The Service Core team is led by Anna Bryson and includes Tina Nguyen, Kim James, Shannon Sloan, Noelle Hardy, Karla Macias and Wydette Rodriguez. Currently, we are processing merit files for the 2013 academic review for the following participating departments:

* Anesthesiology * Center for Research in Biological Systems * Emergency Medicine * Family and Preventive Medicine *
* Moores Cancer Center * Neurosciences * Orthopedic * Pediatrics *
Pharmacology * Reproductive Medicine * Radiation Medicine and Applied Sciences * Surgery

The VCHS Service Core-Academic Affairs office was created to assist departments with all aspects of academic related services.  Though primarily focused on the preparation of merit files for the first year, additional tasks will be added to the menu of services provided, including recruitments and appointments, career reviews, and leaves.

Academic Advancement & Training

File prep tips to help you avoid delays in file processing Departments can avoid snags and speed appointment and review file processing by following Academic Personnel Services’ updated tips on file preparation.

These tips are based on comments by the Committee on Academic Personnel (CAP) and other reviewers on common problems seen in appointment and review files.  There are four sets of tips, each specifically tailored for General Campus, Health Sciences, SIO, and ORU file preparers.

The tips are available on the Academic Appointment and Review Procedures<http://academicaffairs.ucsd.edu/aps/advance-train/appt-rev-process.html> page on the APS Web site.
