All new full-time clinical faculty appointed to the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto must complete a Continuing Faculty Appointment Review (CFAR) at the end of their three-year probationary period. This review is designed as a “check in” to ensure that the faculty member has met the terms and conditions of their appointment to the Department, as laid out in their Academic Planning Document, and to assess for any barriers or challenges to the academic success of the candidate that warrant attention.
