Joint Primary Appointments are when faculty members hold simultaneous primary appointments in two or more departments in the School of Medicine and/or in two or more schools at the University of Pennsylvania with significant shared financial and other department resources (e.g., space, administrative support) and with clearly defined responsibilities in both departments.

Reinstatement is the action of rehiring a faculty member into a previously resigned position within two years of resignation.

Department Transfers occur when a faculty member’s primary department changes after their initial hire.  This is the only change to their role.
