Article Abstract
Assessment of faculty workload is challenging due to the diverse set of definitions and expectations at individual schools/colleges of pharmacy. The service component of faculty workload is complicated to assess and evaluate due to institutional variances in policies and procedures for assigning service commitments and lack of clarity in how service is regarded toward promotion and tenure decisions. This commentary discusses the challenges of service as a component of faculty workload including lack of clear definitions and time dedicated to service. The commentary also presents potential solutions that schools/colleges should consider in defining service expectations. These solutions include strategies on how administrators should: set expectations, engage faculty at all ranks and series, and measure outcomes to ensure equity of service workload to build a culture of collective citizenship.
