In response to recent schoolwide discussions about professorial promotions at Hopkins, the Professorial Promotions Committee (PPC) has prepared the attached document, entitled "Criteria and Process of Professorial Promotion of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine: Report of the Professorial Promotions Committee, January 14, 1998."

This report was presented in late January to the Advisory Board of the Medical Faculty which concurred with the PPC recommendation that the document should be disseminated widely throughout the faculty. In addition to this faculty mailing, we are encouraging directors to share it in their departments, and we plan to include it in the near future on the jhuniverse homepage under University Reports at http://www.jhu.edu/news_info/reports/.

I think you will find it interesting and valuable reading. Please address your thoughts and comments to me or directly to the PPC in care of Dr. Fred Sanfilippo.
