Benefits to UTMB Community Teaching Physicians

UTMB realizes the commitment that is required by community teaching physicians that volunteer their time to teach our medical students.  UTMB offers several perks to say thank you for the time that physicians and their staff dedicate to teaching our future physicians.

UTMB Faculty Appointment - If a physician is teaching for the Practice of Medicine 1 (POM1) Course, any of the 3rd year clerkships or the 4th year Ambulatory Community Selective (ACS), then UTMB will offer the physician a without salary (WOS) appointment.  This appointment assigns the title of 'Clinical Assistant Professor' for UTMB.

Cat. II CME - Every hour that a community physician spends teaching UTMB medical students is equivalent to an equal number of Cat. II CME hours.  UTMB will send preceptors a letter every August stating the number of teaching hours provided to UTMB.  This letter may be presented to self declare the same number of hours for Cat. II CME.

UTMB Moody Medical Library Access - Community Teaching Physicians who teach UTMB medical students are eligible to receive a UTMB username and password to access the online medical resources available through the UTMB Moody Medical Library.  If you have interest in obtaining access to these medical resources, please contact Brian Sullivan.
