Revised and renamed 670

671

Deleted 671

On 11/23/99, APM - 670 was revised and renamed "Health Sciences Compensation Plan and Guidelines on Occasional Outside Professional Activities by Health Sciences Compensation Plan Participants." The Health Sciences Compensation Plan is a consolidation and revision of the former Medical School Clinical Compensation Plan (MSCCP) and the General Health Sciences Compensation Plan (GHSCP). It is closely patterned after the MSCCP but differs in some respects. The membership requirements of MSCCP and GHSCP have been combined and incorporated in the new Plan. Also, under the new Plan, the President issued the "Guidelines on Outside Professional Activities by Health Sciences Compensation Plan Participants." The Guidelines are included as part of APM - 670. The new Plan and Guidelines provide greater flexibility to campuses with respect to establishing procedures governing outside activities so that Plan participants can be treated more like other faculty at UC and at comparison universities. APM - 671, which contained the previous Medical School Clinical Compensation Plan, was deleted when APM - 670 was revised and renamed.
