Annual Performance Review
The Annual Performance Review (APR) is intended to promote the discussion of performance and future goals between a faculty member and their supervisor. The APR is required for all UMass Chan Medical School employed faculty at the UMass Chan Medical School and UMass Memorial Health Care. The procedure for conducting the APR is described in the Academic Personnel Policy (APP, approved 12/8/2017) — see APP Section 5.5
The goal of the APR is to provide a retrospective evaluation and an agreement on shared goals for the future. The APR process is intended to benefit the faculty member and the department:
- to document a faculty member’s activities and achievements
- to provide feedback (both positive and for areas of improvement) on a faculty member’s performance in their assigned roles and on their progress toward academic promotion
- to define the goals for a faculty member for the upcoming year
- to define a plan for academic and professional development
- to inform salary recommendations.
