As of Nov. 1, 2017, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is introducing a new Senior Faculty Transition Program (SFTP), which will offer two distinct pathways to retirement. The new retirement options and the development of this website were a result of 2016 recommendations made by the Dean’s Task Force on Senior Faculty Support and Transitions.
The SFTP is currently being offered to school of medicine faculty meeting the eligibility criteria that are outlined in the table below. For more information on the SFTP, please refer to the Senior Faculty Retirements Options Outline and the SFTP Frequently Asked Questions document. Please see provided ERIP Department Director Template Letter and PRP Department Director Template Letter for your review. Any questions on eligibility for the SFTP should be directed to the SFTP Coordinator, Jennifer Van Beek at SOMRetirement@jhmi.edu.
