The Departmental Appointments Committee (DAC) reviews new appointments to determine eligibility and rank.
Documents must be submitted three weeks prior to the DAC meeting date. Incomplete documentation will result in a delay in reviewing your appointment.
The LMP HR Office will send you an email update within five business days after the DAC meeting. The final dossier preparation and review by the Dean of Medicine may take an additional eight weeks.
The DAC does not meet during the summer. Contact the LMP HR Office at lmp.appointments@utoronto.ca if you have a new appointment request that needs to be approved during the summer.
