For appointment or promotion to Instructor or Assistant Professor, individuals with a terminal degree in a clinical discipline must be board certified or have equivalent qualifications or have completed all necessary training to be eligible for board certification (revised APP, Sections 3.6.a.i & 3.7.a.i). This requirement is not different for appointment or promotion to Assistant Professor in the current APP. For appointment or promotion to Associate Professor or Professor, individuals with terminal degrees must be board certified or have equivalent qualifications as applicable to their professional and academic responsibilities (revised APP, Sections 3.8.a.i & 3.9.a.i). This requirement was added to the revised APP on recommendation of the AAWG.
