Faculty Handbook
Chapter IV: Faculty
VOLUNTARY FACULTY
Upon the recommendation of the Department Chairperson,
an individual who holds a doctoral degree and who agrees to
devote at least 10 hours weekly of unpaid service to Medical
Center activities that is assigned by the Chairperson is eligible
for appointment to the Voluntary faculty. Voluntary faculty
may not accept an appointment or other position at any other
school of medicine unless prior written approval has been
granted by the Dean.
Voluntary faculty may be compensated by Mount Sinai School
of Medicine or its affiliated institutions for professional
services rendered at a rate to be determined by the Department
Chairperson and approved by the Dean or the Director of the
Mount Sinai Hospital or other affiliated institution. Fringe
benefits will only be provided for those Voluntary faculty
who are paid for at least 17.5 hours of service per week,
except when mandated by law or arranged by agreement with
the School or Hospital. Time devoted to paid service to the
School and/or affiliated Hospitals may not be substituted
for the 10 hours of weekly unpaid service that is required
of all Voluntary faculty. Arrangements for compensation for
services may be terminated by Mount Sinai School of Medicine
or its affiliated institutions at any time. In the event that
such arrangements are terminated, Voluntary faculty will retain
their faculty appointment in the School of Medicine.
