The STAR Program is the School of Medicine's strategic plan to provide managers with robust tools for rewarding their staff.

The Star Program is designed to provide managers the flexibility to support the specific goals of their units while ensuring consistent application of program guidelines. Unit policies and procedures must be clearly defined and communicated so that all employees understand how outstanding performance is recognized and rewarded.

Types of STAR awards include superstar awards, training and development awards, tier one and tier two awards, and incentive plan awards.
