Pharmacy Practice Tenure Track
Promotion Guidelines
Department of Pharmacy Practice
College of Pharmacy
University of Hawaii at Hilo
Accepted by the Faculty, August 2010
Criteria for Promotion for Tenure Track Faculty
Preamble: One important mission of the College of Pharmacy (CoP) is to prepare future and/or current practitioners to meet the health care needs of the people of the State of Hawaii and society, and deliver pharmaceutical care services. Thus, the Department of Pharmacy Practice faculty focuses their effort on outcomes that encourage the growth and advancement of the Profession of Pharmacy. Consequently, efforts in discovery, learning, and engagement must be considered in the context of the impact they have in this regard. That is, while faculty are to be adjudged, in part, on the basis of the creation of new knowledge and the dissemination of that knowledge, consideration must also be given to the impact the Candidate's effort plays upon the profession of pharmacy.
Consistent with the University's promotion criteria, candidates for promotion and tenure are to have demonstrated accomplishments in the areas of teaching, scholarship (i.e., creative endeavor, research) and/or extension, outreach, and/or other forms of service. The Department recognizes the various forms of scholarship including: discovery, the scholarship of integration, the scholarship of application, and the scholarship of teaching (see Appendix A.). The first two forms of scholarship reflect the investigative and synthesizing traditions of academic life. The third demonstrates how knowledge can be responsibly applied to consequential problems within the profession, and the fourth recognizes that in the role of scientist/scholar one must not only find new truth; he/she must be capable to teach it to all who desire to learn.
To be considered for promotion, a faculty member should have demonstrated excellence in at least one of the aforementioned areas and typically strength will be manifest in more than one of these areas. A successful candidate should have a significant record of accomplishment as a faculty member and show promise of continued professional growth and recognition.
Letters of review must be solicited and be divided between evaluators familiar with the
Candidate and their work and from those with no personal connection to the Candidate. The Candidate may submit a list of suggested reviewers with the final selection being determined by the Department Chair and/or CoP Administrators. The experts must evaluate the quality and impact of the Candidate’s contribution to their academic and/or professional discipline against criteria set out here and any unique criteria in the CoP Contract Renewal policy.

Criteria for Promotion from Assistant to Associate Professor
Criteria for Promotion from Associate to Full Professor
Appendix A. Various forms of scholarship defined1
Scholarship of Discovery - The creation of new knowledge, rooted in the conviction that
disciplined investigative efforts within the academy are strengthened.
Scholarship of Integration - Giving meaning to isolated facts and putting them intoperspective. This form of scholarship also means interpretation, fitting one's research, and/or the research of others, into larger intellectual patterns.
Scholarship of Application - This form of scholarship begs the question, "how can knowledge be responsibly applied to consequential problems? How can this knowledge be useful to individuals as well as institutions? To be considered scholarship, service activities must be tied directly to one's special field of knowledge and relate to, and flow directly out of, this professional activity.
Scholarship of Teaching - Pedagogical creativity, innovation, and research that culminates in student learning.
1 Boyer EL. Scholarship Reconsidered. Priorities of the Professoriate. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Princeton NJ, 1990.
Scholarship of Optimization and Improvement of Pharmacy Practice – this is also recognized as a viable area by the CoP. It is a unique domain of Colleges of Pharmacy and is largely comprised of the development and application of performance enhancement models and methodologies resulting in practice optimization and improvement. It includes the development and applicability of assessment tools to evaluate and improve outcomes. This has its analogy in the engineering domain of System and Process Optimization and fault analysis.
