Promotion Process

Senior Promotions Process 1

Promotion Mentors

Mentors are chosen by each hospital to guide candidates through the promotion process and assist with preparing their documents. Mentors may have specific expertise in an area of CPA, Research, and Teaching/Education

As a candidate for promotion, it is critical that you frame your accomplishments in a logical and compelling way in order to be successful. You are being asked to draft a submission that contains a mixture of structured and free form content. Both are important. You will likely need support in determining how to best do this, which is why we strongly encourage ongoing discussions with your promotion and other mentors.
