- 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.
