This handbook was written to orient the faculty to the XUSOM’s organization, policies, and functioning, and to answer questions that may arise during the course of your daily educational, clinical, and research activities. These policies are reviewed periodically and subject to revision by actions of the University, its Board of Trustees and the Faculty Senate.
The XUSOM Faculty Bylaws define the guidelines and procedures for the organization and governance of the school of medicine. Faculty members are encouraged to become familiar with the faculty bylaws, and abide by all the University’s principles, standards, and policies.
XUSOM has a strong institutional commitment to lawful and ethical behavior and this is one of the University’s valuable assets. All XUSOM faculty members are expected to carry out their institutional responsibilities in accordance with applicable legal and ethical principles.
