The Faculty Senate reviews and recommends changes to the Rules of the SOM and takes the lead in decisions concerning faculty evaluation procedures, the medical curriculum, research programs, professionalism and other academic matters.
Members of the Faculty Senate are elected by the departments and serve two-year terms. Each department of the School of Medicine elects one member for every thirty faculty members holding the rank of Instructor or above, with each department entitled to at least one member. All members of the Executive Faculty at all affiliated institutions are eligible for election.
