  • 00:00Welcome to everybody. I'm Jonathan
  • 00:02Grauer,
  • 00:02from OAPD,
  • 00:04from Orthopaedics.
  • 00:06We're gonna we're gonna in
  • 00:07the time of year where
  • 00:08we're gonna start to talk
  • 00:09about a bunch of the
  • 00:10pieces of the mechanical things
  • 00:12that go into the appointments
  • 00:13and promotion process.
  • 00:16Great to have everyone join.
  • 00:18Please feel free to ask
  • 00:20any questions. I don't think
  • 00:21my talk will be too
  • 00:22long today, and then we'll
  • 00:23really just open it up.
  • 00:25But it's important to kinda
  • 00:27just make sure everyone's familiar
  • 00:29with the,
  • 00:30kind of mechanics of what
  • 00:31we're gonna be talking about.
  • 00:32So let me get that
  • 00:33shared.
  • 00:40So as I said, you
  • 00:41know, we're gonna go through
  • 00:42over the next, number of
  • 00:44workshops. We're gonna start here
  • 00:45with CV one,
  • 00:47kind of the kind of
  • 00:48classic CV. CV part two
  • 00:50is supplemental information, samples of
  • 00:52scholarship, teaching evaluations, letters of
  • 00:55evaluation.
  • 00:56We'll be covering these different,
  • 00:57topics and and certainly welcome
  • 00:59everybody to join us.
  • 01:02So
  • 01:03CV one is
  • 01:05pretty basic of a concept.
  • 01:06It's it's our CV that
  • 01:07represents what we do. And
  • 01:09it so it's important for
  • 01:11many phases of our life
  • 01:12for,
  • 01:13appointments and kinda getting here,
  • 01:15for promotion, for
  • 01:17different people wanting it at
  • 01:18different times.
  • 01:20It's really important. And the
  • 01:21reason why we put a
  • 01:23lot of effort into a
  • 01:24a common format is to
  • 01:27kinda have a common language
  • 01:29of how CVs are are
  • 01:30looked at. A lot of
  • 01:31times when things are reviewed
  • 01:33at the medical school, people,
  • 01:35when they pick it up,
  • 01:36they're looking in certain sections,
  • 01:38for things that that they're
  • 01:39used to seeing.
  • 01:41And it's really not the
  • 01:43purpose to be picking nitpicky
  • 01:45about this area or that
  • 01:47area. It's really a way
  • 01:49to try to help optimize
  • 01:51the forward face of faculty.
  • 01:53So, you know, it it's
  • 01:55really the goal is to
  • 01:56make this so that it
  • 01:57best represents you. And when
  • 01:59people are looking at it,
  • 02:00they acknowledge all the important
  • 02:01things you do.
  • 02:03Over the years, there's been
  • 02:04some things that have evolved
  • 02:06where more faculty are doing
  • 02:08things in certain areas and
  • 02:09efforts to make sure that
  • 02:11there are ways to incorporate
  • 02:12that, and we'll touch on
  • 02:13some of those points.
  • 02:15And then there are some
  • 02:16things, the the inward facing
  • 02:18things that we do at
  • 02:19Yale that sometimes
  • 02:20are not really designed to
  • 02:22be part of a CV.
  • 02:23But that's where CV two,
  • 02:25really shines through to help
  • 02:27say, yes. That's important. And
  • 02:29when it comes to the
  • 02:30appointments and promotion process, those
  • 02:31things make a big difference.
  • 02:33And there's absolutely ways to
  • 02:35share that and to express
  • 02:37all those important things you're
  • 02:38doing,
  • 02:39but
  • 02:40but not always, for the
  • 02:41CB one. And so that's
  • 02:43where we try to get
  • 02:43a common language.
  • 02:45So it kinda documents
  • 02:47your career history and your
  • 02:49recognition outside of Yale.
  • 02:51It is what
  • 02:53is typically
  • 02:54publicly visible. So it's really
  • 02:56a way to organize. If
  • 02:57you searched any one of
  • 02:58us and spent enough time,
  • 02:59you'd figure out where we
  • 03:00did our training. You'd figure
  • 03:02out what you published and
  • 03:03where you talked and what
  • 03:04you did. And it's really
  • 03:05the goal of capturing
  • 03:07that.
  • 03:07And as I say, the
  • 03:08the common format's helpful.
  • 03:10And I'm gonna harp on
  • 03:12that a few times. It
  • 03:13just sounds kind of like
  • 03:14a pretty obvious thing where
  • 03:15we say, oh, yeah. Of
  • 03:16course. We're gonna put it
  • 03:17together in the right format.
  • 03:19The an enormous number of
  • 03:20ones that come through our
  • 03:21office are in different
  • 03:24orders or done with information,
  • 03:26and it's just really
  • 03:27there to help faculty. And
  • 03:28we wanna help guide you
  • 03:30through this.
  • 03:32So
  • 03:34don't worry about getting all
  • 03:35the information. It's
  • 03:36all on the website. If
  • 03:38you just type into any
  • 03:39browser, Yale OAPD,
  • 03:41and go to the academic
  • 03:43affairs tab
  • 03:44under the documents,
  • 03:46information,
  • 03:47there is a tab that
  • 03:48has c d one. There's
  • 03:49nothing I'm gonna show today
  • 03:50that's not there. This is
  • 03:52just a way to help
  • 03:53summarize it and then hopefully
  • 03:54start some discussion we'll have.
  • 03:57Not only are things described,
  • 03:59but you'll see in this
  • 04:01kind of bluish,
  • 04:04background
  • 04:05are samples that are interspersed
  • 04:07through the different sections showing
  • 04:09you kind of examples
  • 04:11of how things are related.
  • 04:16So we're just gonna go
  • 04:18through these different sections and
  • 04:19kinda talk about why they're
  • 04:20important and what things are.
  • 04:26First things are your your
  • 04:28training background, your education,
  • 04:31going through that, and career
  • 04:33appointments,
  • 04:33whether you if you started
  • 04:35outside of Yale, came to
  • 04:37Yale, or tracking the things
  • 04:38you've done at Yale.
  • 04:40This and all sections are
  • 04:42in chronological order.
  • 04:44Back in the day, it's
  • 04:44been many years now. Some
  • 04:46things were in reverse chronological
  • 04:47order, but now every section
  • 04:49through the CV is in
  • 04:50chronological order, and it's routine
  • 04:52for people to pop to
  • 04:53the end of each of
  • 04:54the sections if they wanna
  • 04:55see the most current. Do
  • 04:56yourself the favor. Keep it
  • 04:58in that order. It's also
  • 04:59much easier as things evolve
  • 05:00on your CV. You're adding
  • 05:02it to the end. It
  • 05:02doesn't
  • 05:04renumber all the ear earlier
  • 05:05things. It doesn't change all
  • 05:07of that. It's really a
  • 05:08very consistent,
  • 05:10process.
  • 05:14Administrative positions.
  • 05:16These are usually program leadership
  • 05:18or coordination
  • 05:19positions,
  • 05:21and and certainly things that
  • 05:22we call out and,
  • 05:25recognize.
  • 05:26Board certification and advanced
  • 05:28training
  • 05:29certificates.
  • 05:30So there's a section here
  • 05:32for board certification. And we
  • 05:35added in because people are
  • 05:36really looking where do they
  • 05:37put things such as training
  • 05:39and certification for substantive
  • 05:41nondegree education,
  • 05:43faculty development programs.
  • 05:46Advanced leadership program was one
  • 05:48of those ones a lot
  • 05:49that kind of bounced back
  • 05:50and forth. And for everyone
  • 05:51who was in a different
  • 05:52spot, somebody will put it
  • 05:53under education, somebody will put
  • 05:54it elsewhere,
  • 05:55really trying to bring it
  • 05:56together so when people are
  • 05:57looking for things, they're in
  • 05:58a common location. So this
  • 06:00is where that's being recommended.
  • 06:04Professional honors and recognition.
  • 06:07Obviously, we wanna hear about
  • 06:08the things that, you're recognized
  • 06:10for, and they're divided based
  • 06:12on the scope of practice
  • 06:14of who the audience is.
  • 06:16And that's really common for
  • 06:17a bunch of these subsequent
  • 06:18sections that they will be
  • 06:20divided into the scope of
  • 06:21section.
  • 06:22It's a little less relevant
  • 06:23here for honors and recognition
  • 06:25as for things like presentation.
  • 06:27When you kinda wonder
  • 06:29what is the geography, the
  • 06:30region of that, think of
  • 06:31the audience
  • 06:33of who is receiving that
  • 06:35or giving
  • 06:36that. So in other words,
  • 06:38if you are kind of
  • 06:39given some award or giving
  • 06:41some talk at a national
  • 06:43meeting, but it happened to
  • 06:44be close in geography,
  • 06:47it doesn't mean it's a
  • 06:47regional presentation. If the audience
  • 06:50is beyond national, think of
  • 06:52the audience who's getting who's
  • 06:54kind of
  • 06:56giving,
  • 06:57bestowing,
  • 06:59listening to that talk as
  • 07:01what that geography is.
  • 07:05Grant, grants and clinical trials,
  • 07:07they're divided into current grants
  • 07:10and past
  • 07:11current clinical trials and past
  • 07:13clinical trials.
  • 07:14Again, just so that there's
  • 07:16a common language to these,
  • 07:17there's standard information in terms
  • 07:19of what's asked for, in
  • 07:21terms of each of the
  • 07:21information, all spelled out,
  • 07:24very consistent.
  • 07:25Your departments can probably help
  • 07:26you if you don't have
  • 07:27all of that.
  • 07:29Office of sponsored projects can
  • 07:30probably help with that, but
  • 07:32trying to pull together that
  • 07:33information.
  • 07:36Speaking engagements, really two different
  • 07:38categories of speaking engagements.
  • 07:41Invited speaking engagements, somebody asks
  • 07:43you to go give a
  • 07:44talk,
  • 07:46kinda demonstrating
  • 07:47that they're interested in hearing
  • 07:49you and what you have
  • 07:50to share, what you've done,
  • 07:51what your perspective is. We
  • 07:53think of that as kind
  • 07:54of the invited speaking talk
  • 07:56not affiliated with Yale. So
  • 07:59to that point,
  • 08:00if you give a talk
  • 08:02here at the institution, even
  • 08:04if you're doing that on
  • 08:05a regular base,
  • 08:06absolutely.
  • 08:07Everyone's kind of, you know,
  • 08:10acknowledges that. It's important.
  • 08:13CV two, though, is where
  • 08:15those inward facing things are
  • 08:16represented.
  • 08:18The other group of of
  • 08:19presentations that people give are
  • 08:21peer reviewed presentations. So you've
  • 08:23submitted your work to a
  • 08:25organization, to your societies.
  • 08:27They have their annual meeting,
  • 08:29or the like, and
  • 08:32it's accepted, you're giving that
  • 08:33often on behalf of a
  • 08:34few authors,
  • 08:36that's where you would list
  • 08:37that. And, again, based on
  • 08:38the audience
  • 08:40of, their
  • 08:42scope of region.
  • 08:45Professional service,
  • 08:47both outside of Yale and
  • 08:49within
  • 08:50Yale and the hospital,
  • 08:52going through different things that
  • 08:54you're involved in. Great to
  • 08:55be involved.
  • 08:56It's a really wonderful way
  • 08:57to show your involvement beyond
  • 08:59the institution.
  • 09:01I will say that as
  • 09:02and we're gonna talk about
  • 09:03how to build reputation, but
  • 09:04as you're doing these types
  • 09:05of things,
  • 09:07think about not just being
  • 09:08the member, but, you know,
  • 09:09how do you get involved
  • 09:10in committees and other things?
  • 09:12It's a great way to
  • 09:13represent kind of a very
  • 09:14active role beyond the institution.
  • 09:16We're gonna have different talks,
  • 09:17really how to optimize and,
  • 09:19you know, work on those
  • 09:20types of things. Same thing
  • 09:22at the university,
  • 09:24and the hospital,
  • 09:25thinking about the committees that
  • 09:26you're on.
  • 09:29Public service and,
  • 09:31media presence, patents,
  • 09:33growing faculty engagement in these
  • 09:35areas when these are substantive
  • 09:37things, things that people put
  • 09:38a lot into, it's a
  • 09:39great way to be able
  • 09:40to represent that and keep
  • 09:42this information
  • 09:44together.
  • 09:46Bibliography is one of the
  • 09:47big sections for many who
  • 09:48are active with scholarship.
  • 09:50Different sections are listed,
  • 09:52and and pay attention to
  • 09:54that. NIH formatting,
  • 09:57try to really get a
  • 09:58a consistent,
  • 09:59way to represent them. There
  • 10:01are places for links where
  • 10:03you can add,
  • 10:04for your PubMed ID, PubMed
  • 10:06central ID,
  • 10:08DOI,
  • 10:09putting that information there. Make
  • 10:11your name stand out, bold
  • 10:13your name,
  • 10:15things that we're that really
  • 10:16are not included on this,
  • 10:18things that are submitted and
  • 10:19not yet accepted.
  • 10:21A lot of people keep,
  • 10:21like, a working draft of
  • 10:22your CV where things like
  • 10:24that are tracked and listed.
  • 10:25But when you're getting this
  • 10:27together to really share to
  • 10:29others and share it for
  • 10:30the appointments and promotions, Those
  • 10:32things are expected not to
  • 10:33be on it.
  • 10:35Abstracts,
  • 10:37a lot of societies are
  • 10:38publishing the abstracts that are
  • 10:40submitted there. Those things are
  • 10:41really not there. It kind
  • 10:42of is duplicative with the
  • 10:44talk, and other forms of
  • 10:46showing this.
  • 10:48Preprints,
  • 10:49again, not something that here.
  • 10:51Annotations, citation numbers,
  • 10:53not things that are part
  • 10:54of the standard format.
  • 11:00So those are really the
  • 11:01sections.
  • 11:02So, you know, we try
  • 11:04to make this
  • 11:06as kinda clear as we
  • 11:06can to get everyone on
  • 11:07that same page.
  • 11:10Follow the instructions.
  • 11:13Really try to be explanatory.
  • 11:14If you have questions, we're
  • 11:15always happy to chat about
  • 11:17them.
  • 11:18I always encourage people to
  • 11:19update your CV regularly. You
  • 11:21know, there's never a time
  • 11:23later where you're gonna remember
  • 11:25things better than when you
  • 11:26do them. And if you
  • 11:27can kinda keep track and
  • 11:29every so often as you're
  • 11:30doing
  • 11:31things, put them as entries
  • 11:32on your CV. I think
  • 11:33it's the best way to
  • 11:34really capture that while you're
  • 11:36thinking about it. You can
  • 11:37always edit it later, but
  • 11:38to get that information in
  • 11:40there.
  • 11:41Be succinct when possible.
  • 11:43Seek the external opportunities. Think
  • 11:45about these things ahead of
  • 11:46time, grants,
  • 11:48talks, honors, service professional organizations,
  • 11:51those things that we mentioned.
  • 11:54Things not to do, make
  • 11:55sure it's accurately representing what
  • 11:58you did.
  • 12:00As I mentioned, the talks
  • 12:02given here at Yale,
  • 12:04are are not what the
  • 12:05focus is supposed to be.
  • 12:06Those are gonna be for
  • 12:07CV two.
  • 12:10Make sure you kind of
  • 12:11get things in the right
  • 12:12section,
  • 12:13both in terms of,
  • 12:15talks, papers.
  • 12:17Not too often we're seeing
  • 12:19things and reviewing things and
  • 12:20people are saying, you know,
  • 12:20who are looking at them
  • 12:21or saying, well, you know,
  • 12:22I'm not really sure they're
  • 12:23categorized correctly. Put some thought
  • 12:24into that.
  • 12:26And kind of just the
  • 12:27general statement of don't let
  • 12:29poor documentation preparation say something
  • 12:31about you. You know? Put
  • 12:32put that effort into this.
  • 12:34You know, sometimes people work
  • 12:35with,
  • 12:36different folks who,
  • 12:38they're working with to help
  • 12:40in preparing them, and that's
  • 12:41that's fine. But in the
  • 12:42end of the day, as
  • 12:44faculty, this is what's representing
  • 12:46you, and I really encourage
  • 12:47you to go through it
  • 12:48carefully.
  • 12:49If you're not doing it
  • 12:50yourself, if you're doing yourself
  • 12:51great, but, really, you know,
  • 12:53at the end of the
  • 12:53day, make sure you've done
  • 12:55that.
  • 12:58Common CV correction, the order,
  • 13:01being in chronological order,
  • 13:03redundancy between different sections. Keep
  • 13:06that in mind. Avoid that.
  • 13:07Something like a grant. Yes.
  • 13:09It's it's honorific, but not
  • 13:11both in the grants and
  • 13:12the honor section.
  • 13:13Grant information missing.
  • 13:16Publication,
  • 13:17the style inconsistencies.
  • 13:20The style is specifically not
  • 13:22meant for et al.
  • 13:24It's helpful to know where
  • 13:25you are and what the
  • 13:26authors are. Even if it's
  • 13:27a long list, include the
  • 13:29list of authors.
  • 13:30We had one recently where
  • 13:32people used somebody used et
  • 13:34al, and they included themselves
  • 13:35in the et al because
  • 13:37they only put the first
  • 13:38few and it didn't include
  • 13:40theirs. Look them up. They're
  • 13:41certainly there, but helpful. You
  • 13:43know, you wanna have the
  • 13:44the list there. Think about
  • 13:46what original research is. You
  • 13:47know, again, thinking about the
  • 13:48different categories.
  • 13:51One thing I'll give a
  • 13:52plug for,
  • 13:53some folks find this more
  • 13:55or less
  • 13:56useful in terms of things.
  • 13:57I think it's a a
  • 13:58powerful
  • 14:00tool, is CD builder.
  • 14:02So for any of you
  • 14:03who have been on Beatrix,
  • 14:05which is the platform that
  • 14:06we use to put the
  • 14:07information
  • 14:08into,
  • 14:10our profiles that that show
  • 14:12to the world beyond,
  • 14:13If you go into it
  • 14:15so I just have
  • 14:16my page here. If you
  • 14:18went down to the bottom
  • 14:19and you click edit profile,
  • 14:22it'll take you to this
  • 14:23screen. Or down at the
  • 14:25edge, it kinda lists the
  • 14:26different sections. At the bottom,
  • 14:27it says CP builder. You
  • 14:29want CP one builder.
  • 14:31You click on this, and
  • 14:32it will, by section,
  • 14:34walk you through the information
  • 14:36to do.
  • 14:38Simple following the the steps
  • 14:40on it. In general, it's
  • 14:42a great way to categorize
  • 14:43information. And the added bonus
  • 14:45is that as you put
  • 14:46that information in, it gets
  • 14:48added to your publicly visible
  • 14:51profile that those looking at
  • 14:53the university and looking you
  • 14:54up are gonna see. And
  • 14:55if you type in any
  • 14:56one of our names,
  • 14:57Yale, this is gonna be
  • 14:59the first website they find.
  • 15:00It's a great way to
  • 15:01show that information.
  • 15:03The other advantage, as I
  • 15:04mentioned, for all the things
  • 15:05where things come in in
  • 15:06different formats, this forces the
  • 15:08right format.
  • 15:11Advantages,
  • 15:12things like publications are drawn
  • 15:14in,
  • 15:15through dimensions,
  • 15:17which is
  • 15:18essentially a search engine to
  • 15:19get the papers in. I
  • 15:20will say
  • 15:22that enough faculty weren't responding
  • 15:24to saying what kind of
  • 15:26what kind of paper was
  • 15:27it that they just start
  • 15:28auto importing them and they
  • 15:29come in as peer reviewed
  • 15:31publications. So if you're using
  • 15:32this for your publications, make
  • 15:34sure you do checks to
  • 15:35make sure that things are
  • 15:37adjusted. It's very easy to
  • 15:38adjust which category it falls
  • 15:40in.
  • 15:41And the section that is
  • 15:42the greatest amount of work
  • 15:43in doing this is your
  • 15:45presentations,
  • 15:46especially things like peer reviewed
  • 15:47type presentations where there are
  • 15:48a number of authors. I
  • 15:50will say that that is
  • 15:52the least
  • 15:53automated of the processes.
  • 15:55But especially if you start
  • 15:56this early in your career,
  • 15:58it kinda helps in terms
  • 15:59of getting those in. And
  • 15:59as I say, the secondary
  • 16:01benefit of having an active
  • 16:03list on your profile for
  • 16:04what it is seen. So
  • 16:05encourage you to look at
  • 16:07and work with that.
  • 16:12As part of that process
  • 16:13for CV builder,
  • 16:15you can select what type
  • 16:17of CV it is. And
  • 16:18it includes things such as
  • 16:20if it's being used for
  • 16:21the appointments and promotions process,
  • 16:24it will include kind of
  • 16:25this header information of what
  • 16:27you're being proposed for the
  • 16:28term in school. And if
  • 16:30you pick other forms of
  • 16:31CV,
  • 16:32it won't be there and
  • 16:33it'll look more like a
  • 16:34standard CV that you can
  • 16:35use for other purposes. So
  • 16:37it will help kind of
  • 16:38set it up for whatever
  • 16:39the use is related to
  • 16:41that.
  • 16:44Finally,
  • 16:46we sporadically got in the
  • 16:48past for the appointments and
  • 16:50promotion process addendum. Sometimes the
  • 16:52appointments and promotion process takes
  • 16:54a while. We kinda say
  • 16:55that from initial conception to
  • 16:57end. It can be a
  • 16:57year to year and a
  • 16:58half of that journey.
  • 17:00And there may be substantive
  • 17:02things that you wanna add
  • 17:03as things are getting closer.
  • 17:05And so now on the
  • 17:07website, when you look at
  • 17:07it, we really just spell
  • 17:09out the mechanics of it,
  • 17:10and we invite anyone who
  • 17:11wants to to add a
  • 17:12CB addendum,
  • 17:14of things that have happened
  • 17:15along the way
  • 17:17to help in representing
  • 17:18who you are.
  • 17:20Of note, this is really
  • 17:22for
  • 17:23significant changes. You know, if
  • 17:25something is just, you know,
  • 17:26say, just but has moved
  • 17:28from
  • 17:28impressed to having
  • 17:30a DOI or there's been
  • 17:32a little incremental something,
  • 17:35I wouldn't worry about that.
  • 17:36That's not really what that's
  • 17:37intended for. It's really to
  • 17:39add that the additional publications
  • 17:41happened, that a grant came
  • 17:43through, that you joined a
  • 17:44society,
  • 17:45joined a committee.
  • 17:47Those are the types of
  • 17:48things that are there. And
  • 17:50there's information on just how
  • 17:51to format that, labeling it
  • 17:53as CV addendum,
  • 17:55and then kind of walks
  • 17:56through them, kinda kinda explains
  • 17:58how just to use the
  • 17:59same sections and only list
  • 18:01the sections that have new
  • 18:02things that are being added.
  • 18:07So that's really the information.
  • 18:10That's what c v one
  • 18:11is.
