Abstract	This brief explores the state of the full-time health professions faculty workforce by examining: overall growth in the number of full-time health professions faculty relative to all other disciplines; the percentage of full-time positions that are non-tenure-track versus tenure-track; faculty composition in the health professions compared to all other disciplines and faculty composition within health professions subdisciplines; and health professions faculty compensation. From 2014 to 2019, the number of full-time health professions faculty positions increased faster than faculty in all other disciplines combined. From 2014 to 2019, the share of full-time positions in the health professions that were non-tenure-track was approximately double the share of full-time positions in all other disciplines that were non-tenure-track. Relative to master's and baccalaureate universities, doctoral universities reported a higher concentration of health professions non-tenure-track vs. tenure track positions. Health professions non-tenure-track positions are paid lower median salaries than are tenure-track positions, but the difference is not as great as other disciplines. In considering these results, higher education leaders should reflect on their plans to recruit new faculty and retain current faculty in an increasingly competitive marketplace and reflect on whether they can incorporate current students into pipeline strategies for ensuring an adequate heath professionals faculty workforce.
