Clinical appointments are made to individuals whose training/experience positions them to make valuable contributions to the clinical teaching mission of the University. Clinical faculty appointees have comparable qualifications to other UW faculty with the same title or rank. Clinical faculty within the School of Nursing and Healthcare Leadership (SNHCL) are non-salaried positions and are usually made to individuals who have primary appointments with outside agencies or non-academic UW units, or who are in private practice. 

Clinical faculty appointments run from from July 1 - June 30 each year.  These appointments have the option of renewal. Renewals are based on clinical faculty interest and organizational needs.
