Welcome to the newest version of the Faculty of Medicine Handbook.
This is an early reminder that new Instructors and Lecturers (full-time and part-time) are required to use the CV Generator to create an Faculty of Medicine-formatted CV within the first year of a first appointment.
We are grateful for your ongoing engagement with the Office for Faculty Affairs and hope that you find these resources useful.

In this iteration, take a look at:
- A new consolidated section on search best practices
- Streamlined workflow for new appointments using our Academic Profile Form
- Revisions to Bylaws and Governance, which are available for public comment
Additionally, some updates about the CV Generator – we have been live for more than a year now and are encouraged by the vigorous uptake in the community! At some point in the future, we will expect faculty to use this for promotions and other appointment updates, so now is a good time to transition to an online system for tracking your accomplishments. New features include:
- Assistance in generating an NIH Biosketch
- “Promotion Checker” mode highlights missing required fields
- Enhanced integration with Harvard Catalyst allows you to annotate and classify publications within your Catalyst Profile
- More accurate uploading of existing Harvard Faculty of Medicine-formatted CVs
Future updates to look forward to:
- Automated calculation of yearly teaching hours to make sure you are meeting your teaching requirements
- AI-enabled support for writing an effective CV narrative
- Reporting functionality to support department-level analytics
