Very few physicians are tenured professors today. Many stay at the associate or assistant level.



At most American institutions, associate professors are tenured.


Thanks for the correction. However, many doctors that are in mainly clinical practice but publish occasionally under the university umbrella do not generally on a tenure track. So their title may be associate professor, but they are not generally tenured. However, if they spend a significant amount of time in research they may still have tenure track.
