Meaningful Participation Program
Notification: Meaningful Participation Platform Update
Faculty Affairs has integrated the Meaningful Participation Program (MPP) into the faculty data tracking system, SmartPath™. Faculty will now access MPP using SmartPath™. Credits approved prior to the integration were transferred to the SmartPath-MPP system.
Purpose:
The Meaningful Participation Program is designed to recognize the extraordinary efforts of clinical faculty in dedicating the time and expertise necessary to assure that every graduate of the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine has received the training necessary to become an effective, compassionate contributor to the well-being of the community.
What are the performance expectations for MPP?
- Faculty will participate in the equivalent of three (3) professional development activities during a three-year period (appointment timeframe).
- Faculty will obtain nine (9) service credits during a three-year period (appointment timeframe).
- Faculty will report their activity in the MPP tracking tool.
- Faculty will use a Corewell Health ID to access MPP.
Who is required to participate in the MPP?
Faculty members who hold a standard appointment.
MPP consists of two components:
Component 1: Faculty Professional Development (3 credit requirement)
Professional development activities that enhance the faculty member’s professional knowledge or their skills and abilities.
Examples include conferences or workshops specific to medical education in a designated field of study, continuing medical education (CME), professional development (non-CME), OUWB/Corewell health certificate programs, and OUWB promotion training.
Component 2: Service (9 credit requirement)
Service activities may include committee, community, professional, academic, or educational services that support the School of Medicine's vision and mission.
Examples include OUWB committee participation, Embark or PRISM mentorship, OUWB application screening and admissions interviewing, health-related community service to outside and educational organizations, authorship and presentations, and lecturing or working with OUWB students or Corewell Health residents.

Note: Components can be amended annually under the direction of the Committee on Appointments, Promotion and Tenure (CAPT), as outlined in the Bylaws.

How do faculty report activity?
OUWB Faculty Affairs sends a monthly reminder email with directions on how to access the SmartPath MPP tracking tool. Faculty members must self-report activities to fulfill the requirements for maintaining a faculty appointment.
The tracking tool is not intended to replace your CV.
How are standard or clinical faculty reappointed?
Faculty members who meet the faculty professional development and service requirements shall be reappointed for an additional three-year cycle (appointment timeframe).
Faculty members who do not meet the requirements shall forfeit their faculty appointment with OUWB. The school may consider a new application for re-appointment upon the recommendation of the appropriate department chair. At that time, the candidate, in partnership with the department chair, must identify the specific scope of responsibilities and the anticipated contributions to the academic mission of OUWB. Reappointment recommendations for individuals who have lost their appointment are subject to the approval of the Department Chair, DCAPT, CAPT, Dean, and the Oakland University Board of Trustees.
Individuals who fail to meet the MPP criteria in two separate appointment time frames (3 years) will be ineligible for a future faculty appointment. Faculty members who lose their appointment may forfeit their opportunity to participate in the Physician Payer Adjustment Program (PPAP).
