College of Medicine Faculty and Staff

The Covenant HealthCare College of Medicine at Central Michigan University faculty, academic and support staff are our most valuable resource. The faculty and staff of the college are dedicated to achieving the mission, realizing the vision and upholding values of the medical school. Our emphasis is on training the next generation of physicians to provide patient-centered and evidence-based health care for medically underserved populations in Michigan. We aim to engage our physicians in leading health care transformation, lifelong learning and team-based education.

The goal of the Office of Faculty and Staff Affairs is to provide professional and personal development and support for all those working for our college to succeed. Faculty and Staff Affairs team members work with the discipline chairs and the Faculty Advancement Appointment and Promotion Committee to manage the appointment, reappointment, promotion and tenure process. Other areas include oversight of faculty development programs, the faculty annual performance and academic review process, and faculty and staff recruitment.

Links to important information and resources for all medical school faculty and staff are located on the left-side navigation panel. Also, faculty physicians in our communities who generously donate their time and expertise will find information here about being and becoming one of the already 1,500 plus volunteer community educators as well as relevant community faculty development resources.

Additionally, when CMU launched its medical school in 2010, it partnered with Saginaw-based Covenant HealthCare and MyMichigan Health (formerly Ascension St. Mary's) and created CMU Medical Education Partners.
