The Blue Book contains a set of policies and guidelines governing appointments, promotions and professional activities of the part-time faculty of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. It provides a valuable framework for the collegial relationship between part-time faculty members, their department directors and the Dean.
These policies and guidelines were revised by the Medical School Council (now the Faculty Senate) and Advisory Board of the Medical Faculty in 2009, 2018 and 2019 to align the policies with those that govern the full-time faculty (outlined in the Gold Book).
