A candidate for appointment or promotion will typically be evaluated in three categories depending on the scope of their academic activities (Revised APP, Section 3.5):

• An Area of Distinction, one of the following:
  • Health Care Delivery
  • Education
  • Investigation
  • Population Health & Public Policy
• Education (unless the Area of distinction is Education)
• Academic Service

Candidates will be assessed at one of three levels of achievement in each category: “Entry”, “Established” or “Senior”. Tables in the revised APP list examples of achievements at each level for each category of evaluation (revised APP, pages 11–15).
