The Faculty Council at UNR Med plays a vital role in shared governance and internal communication, serving as an advisory body to the dean. It is responsible for facilitating faculty committee elections, reviewing institutional reports and proposed policy changes, and providing feedback on amendments to bylaws. The Council also monitors and communicates updates from the University Faculty Senate, ensuring faculty are informed about relevant agendas and decisions.

- Five academic faculty elected from the biomedical sciences departments
- Five academic faculty elected from the clinical departments
- Four elected administrative faculty
- One Community (adjunct/clinical) Faculty shall be appointed, by the dean, to serve a renewable three-year term. This position is non-voting as per university bylaws 2.3.6.
Representatives shall serve staggered three-year terms with approximately one third of the membership rotating on/off the Faculty Council each year. Members may serve more than one three-year term.
The chair and vice-chair of the Faculty Council are elected by the Council from among its academic faculty members. The chair and vice chair shall serve staggered two years. The chair and vice chair may be reelected to serve one additional term.
