Faculty recruitment is primarily done by advertisement in reputable medical journals (e.g., Academic Physician, Chronicle of Higher Education), the local newspapers (as per Antillean/ Aruban Labor Law) and on the University website. Applicants’ CVs are reviewed by the CAO, the Dean of Basic Science and of Clinical Science and referred to the Credentials Committee. Faculty members who teach in the discipline for which the applicant is being considered may be consulted. In the case of an on-site interview, the applicant meets with appropriate Administrative and Faculty personnel. Following completion of the interview process and verification of the applicant’s credentials and references, a recommendation is made to the Chief Academic Officer regarding whether the applicant qualifies for the position at the XUSOM.
