- 00:04Okay. Why don't we get
- 00:05started? Welcome, everyone. Glad you
- 00:07could join us today.
- 00:09And the purpose of today's
- 00:10OAPD,
- 00:11presentation
- 00:12is to walk through the
- 00:14CV part two,
- 00:16which is the companion document
- 00:18to the Yale format CV,
- 00:21that doctor Grauer went over
- 00:22in, one of our meetings
- 00:24last month.
- 00:25Together, these two documents get
- 00:27the most attention,
- 00:29by external and internal reviewers,
- 00:31when people are reviewed for
- 00:33promotion.
- 00:35Your excuse me. Your your
- 00:36external reviewers
- 00:38that we talked a little
- 00:39bit about,
- 00:40a couple weeks ago will
- 00:42not get your teaching evaluations
- 00:44and very few of your
- 00:45reviewers
- 00:46will do more than glance
- 00:48at the PDF papers that
- 00:50you may be submitting with
- 00:51your dossier.
- 00:53But everyone
- 00:54who reviews you for promotion
- 00:56will will really look carefully
- 00:57at your CV and CV
- 00:59part two very closely, which
- 01:00is why we
- 01:03devote so much time to
- 01:04it.
- 01:05And really for those, if
- 01:07you were here a couple
- 01:07of weeks ago and we
- 01:08talked about letters of evaluation,
- 01:10I talked about arm's length
- 01:11evaluators.
- 01:13For arm's length evaluators who've
- 01:14never met you or may
- 01:15not know you, these two
- 01:17documents may be the main
- 01:18way that they construct their
- 01:20letter.
- 01:21Let me
- 01:24try to advance my slides.
- 01:29There we go.
- 01:31As you probably know, this
- 01:32is just a list of
- 01:33some of the documents that
- 01:34we've been, going over the
- 01:35past in the past month,
- 01:37and then we'll also talk
- 01:38about teaching evaluations in one
- 01:40of our upcoming
- 01:41presentations.
- 01:43Just to, kind of recap,
- 01:45the Yale CV,
- 01:47the Yale format CV that,
- 01:49Doctor. Grauer reviewed a couple
- 01:50sessions ago has a very
- 01:52specific and rigid format to
- 01:54it. And it limits you
- 01:57to a specific set sections
- 01:59where you'll list your positions
- 02:01and activities and achievements at
- 02:03Yale.
- 02:04But without really going into
- 02:06the kind of explanation or
- 02:07the level of detail,
- 02:09that you might typically include
- 02:11in your regular,
- 02:13professional CV if you maintain
- 02:15one of those separately from
- 02:16the Yale CV.
- 02:17So the CV part two,
- 02:19particularly the narrative sections, which
- 02:21I'll go over in a
- 02:22bit, allows you to move
- 02:24beyond listing things
- 02:26and gives you an opportunity
- 02:28to describe them in a
- 02:29in a way that,
- 02:30can tell your academic story
- 02:32more fully.
- 02:34It allows you to describe
- 02:35in more detail those clinical
- 02:37educational
- 02:38and in many cases, research
- 02:40activities,
- 02:41positions and accomplishments,
- 02:43and the extent to which,
- 02:45your reputation for excellence has
- 02:47been recognized,
- 02:49both within Yale, but as
- 02:51as importantly,
- 02:53beyond Yale.
- 02:55For those of you who
- 02:56may have participated in the,
- 02:58FDAC process within your department,
- 03:01the sections that you're going
- 03:02to be asked to complete,
- 03:05as part of the FDAC,
- 03:06really parallel many of the
- 03:08sections that we have on
- 03:09CV two and that was
- 03:11intentional.
- 03:12So completing one, whether it's
- 03:14the CV two or completing
- 03:15the
- 03:16FDAC sections,
- 03:18will help you completing the
- 03:19other document.
- 03:21And and both of these
- 03:22documents
- 03:23are important for,
- 03:25your mentors to be reviewing,
- 03:28with you as you're as
- 03:29you're having discussions about
- 03:31when you might be going
- 03:32up for promotion.
- 03:35So a few years ago,
- 03:36our office completed a fairly
- 03:38substantial revision to the CV,
- 03:40two.
- 03:41Probably most people around the
- 03:43call today,
- 03:44did not do not have
- 03:45a prior version of that.
- 03:47But if you do, I
- 03:47may make a couple of
- 03:48references to that,
- 03:50because we would expect that
- 03:51you would convert it to
- 03:52the the version we've had
- 03:54in place for, I think,
- 03:55about three years now.
- 03:57A major goal of that
- 03:58revision was to reduce the
- 04:00length,
- 04:01of the CV two. We're
- 04:02encountering cases where people had
- 04:04extremely long CV part twos,
- 04:06which were really placing quite
- 04:08a bit of burden on
- 04:09the various people who are
- 04:10having to review it. So
- 04:12we really, did a number
- 04:14of things, to essentially be
- 04:16removing duplicative
- 04:17text that was being put
- 04:19in,
- 04:20separate subsections,
- 04:22or eliminating
- 04:23some subsections that are that
- 04:25aren't relevant and encouraging faculty
- 04:27to focus on
- 04:29those sections or those highlights
- 04:30that are really most important
- 04:32for your individual career
- 04:34rather than getting lost in
- 04:36the minutia
- 04:37or are spending a lot
- 04:39of time, you know, reporting
- 04:40on things that you don't
- 04:41engage in in any significant
- 04:43way.
- 04:45The most significant change that
- 04:47we made was
- 04:48to separate the materials into
- 04:50two sections.
- 04:51There's a section A that
- 04:53include that will include only
- 04:55narrative descriptions of professional activities.
- 04:58And then a section B
- 04:59that includes the data that
- 05:01supports
- 05:02or describes in greater deep
- 05:04detail,
- 05:05those,
- 05:06those sections.
- 05:07I'll go through each of
- 05:08those in a little bit.
- 05:10Related,
- 05:11major change we made were
- 05:12word limits for the entirety
- 05:14of each narrative section.
- 05:16Some people will ask, well,
- 05:17what if what if I
- 05:18go over the word limit
- 05:19by a little bit? I
- 05:20think most departments in the
- 05:22school committees are forgiving if
- 05:23you're if you're going over
- 05:25by a little bit. But
- 05:26if you've got a section
- 05:27that's twice as long as
- 05:28it should be,
- 05:29it should be getting,
- 05:31returned to you to, to
- 05:32reduce it, to a more
- 05:34succinct presentation.
- 05:36And that's really for your
- 05:37own benefit. So the reviewers
- 05:38can really, again,
- 05:41appreciate the highlights of your
- 05:43successful career as opposed to,
- 05:45the minutiae of it.
- 05:47And the other change that
- 05:48we made was, we wanted
- 05:50there to be a better
- 05:51opportunity,
- 05:52overall in, in each section
- 05:54to highlight,
- 05:55contributions that faculty make to
- 05:57organizational
- 05:59or community well-being and climate.
- 06:03Related to this, there is
- 06:05a, there is a document
- 06:06on the OAPD website
- 06:08that summarizes the different activities
- 06:11and accomplishments
- 06:12expected for faculty on the
- 06:13different tracks.
- 06:16It includes
- 06:17guidance on performance metrics for
- 06:19advancement that are most important
- 06:21for each of the five
- 06:22ladder tracks. I think we
- 06:23did a little bit of
- 06:24a presentation on that in
- 06:25a prior talk.
- 06:27But one thing is that
- 06:28if you, if you look
- 06:29at the bottom of that
- 06:30form,
- 06:31you'll see that it includes
- 06:32guidance.
- 06:33In addition to the performance
- 06:34metrics,
- 06:37that it includes guidance around
- 06:39professionalism,
- 06:40expectations.
- 06:42And that is that all
- 06:43faculty are expected to uphold
- 06:45the standards of conduct and
- 06:46the mission and values
- 06:48of the school and that
- 06:49there should be,
- 06:50evidence at the time of
- 06:51promotion of continued contributions
- 06:54to, the diversity success and
- 06:56well-being of the academic community.
- 06:58And this is really an
- 07:00expectation
- 07:01of faculty of all ranks
- 07:02and tracks.
- 07:04Evidence of excellence in this
- 07:06area doesn't substitute for excellence
- 07:08in the more traditional domains
- 07:10of academic medicine,
- 07:11but it can greatly,
- 07:13enhance the review process if,
- 07:15particularly if the evaluators
- 07:17are commenting on your professionalism,
- 07:19your role modeling,
- 07:21or your and your citizenship.
- 07:23With
- 07:25the CV2,
- 07:28for the sections that you'll
- 07:29be completing,
- 07:31the clinical educational and research
- 07:33scholarship sections. I'll go over
- 07:35in a minute.
- 07:36You should exclude
- 07:38anything or any section that
- 07:40is not applicable to your
- 07:42faculty position,
- 07:43track or rank.
- 07:45So we really encourage you
- 07:46to focus on what you
- 07:48do and not on what
- 07:49you don't do in your
- 07:50position.
- 07:51For example,
- 07:53research rank,
- 07:54and many traditional investigator track
- 07:56faculty,
- 07:58do not have clinical responsibilities.
- 08:01So you don't need to
- 08:02include the clinical section of
- 08:04your CV2.
- 08:06You don't need to put
- 08:07the label of it and
- 08:08then say I don't engage
- 08:09in these activities. You can
- 08:11just leave that entire section
- 08:12out. And many, investigator track
- 08:15faculty don't do a lot
- 08:17of didactic or clinical teaching.
- 08:20And so their section may
- 08:21only be summarizing mentoring,
- 08:23that they do have research
- 08:25trainees or junior faculty.
- 08:27And then academic clinician track
- 08:29faculty,
- 08:31who have minimal or no
- 08:32research activities can omit that
- 08:34section entirely.
- 08:36And as I'll repeat in
- 08:38a minute, you do not
- 08:39need to submit,
- 08:41PDF papers if you're on
- 08:42the academic clinician track.
- 08:46So this is a template
- 08:48slide of what the, our,
- 08:50our current version,
- 08:52of the CV two looks
- 08:53like in terms of the
- 08:54different,
- 08:55required,
- 08:56sections.
- 08:58Depending again on your, on
- 08:59your track.
- 09:01The, the section a, which
- 09:03is the narrative descriptions.
- 09:05This will only include text
- 09:07as full sentence paragraphs. We
- 09:09don't like bulleted lists within
- 09:11this section,
- 09:13but really, sort of tell
- 09:14it as a story with
- 09:15paragraphs or you can have
- 09:17subheadings,
- 09:18of your choosing if that
- 09:20helps you organize,
- 09:21the presentation of your academic
- 09:24activities.
- 09:25Section A should not include
- 09:27tables or figures
- 09:29or detailed lists or links.
- 09:31All of that information can
- 09:33be listed in section B,
- 09:34which I'll go over in
- 09:35a minute.
- 09:37Section A will have two
- 09:39overview statements.
- 09:40Each of those are one
- 09:41hundred and fifty words,
- 09:43and that limit is,
- 09:46is really true for both
- 09:47the statements. And for the
- 09:49last three sections, clinical educational
- 09:52and research scholarship,
- 09:53the word limit is five
- 09:55hundred words.
- 09:58So this, the first introductory
- 10:00overview statement is essentially the
- 10:02same from
- 10:03the prior two versions of
- 10:05CV two or CV supplement.
- 10:08But we've just renamed it
- 10:09as being an overview of,
- 10:10of responsibilities
- 10:12and contributions.
- 10:14For promotion to associate professor
- 10:16and professor,
- 10:17this narrative needs to be
- 10:19a really strong and concise
- 10:21statement about your areas of
- 10:23expertise and leadership.
- 10:26It should describe the extent
- 10:28to which,
- 10:29this is recognized
- 10:30within and beyond Yale.
- 10:33And, to talk about the
- 10:34importance or impact of, of
- 10:36your work or your roles.
- 10:38This is, not the time
- 10:41for false modesty
- 10:42or to be underselling yourself.
- 10:45It should read more like,
- 10:48how you might describe yourself
- 10:49as a candidate for an
- 10:51award,
- 10:52or in a grant application
- 10:54or a cover letter for
- 10:55a job is is how
- 10:56I like to
- 10:57encourage people to think about
- 10:58how they would write it,
- 10:59really putting your strongest foot
- 11:02forward.
- 11:03You want to really emphasize
- 11:05the areas of work or
- 11:06specialized focus that you currently
- 11:08lead
- 11:09or in which you're making
- 11:10really substantive contributions.
- 11:13And it's really important that
- 11:15how you describe this in
- 11:16the short amount of space
- 11:18that you have is is
- 11:20aligned with your faculty track,
- 11:23and, is aligned with your
- 11:25local regional and in many
- 11:27cases national recognition and reputation.
- 11:30So for example, if you
- 11:32are, on the academic clinician
- 11:35track, your first sentence wouldn't
- 11:37be about your research contributions.
- 11:40You might include it in
- 11:41this section or you might
- 11:42not.
- 11:43Likewise, if you were on
- 11:45one of the research intensive
- 11:46ladder tracks, if you were
- 11:48a tenure track faculty member,
- 11:50for example, or clinician scientists,
- 11:52you wouldn't typically lead off
- 11:54with a description of your
- 11:55clinical
- 11:56activities. You'd lead off with
- 11:57your major research contributions
- 12:00and, because that's really what
- 12:02you're being evaluated
- 12:03for primarily,
- 12:05when you're going up for
- 12:06promotion.
- 12:08The second,
- 12:09narrative overview statement, also one
- 12:11hundred and fifty words,
- 12:12is the, the newer one
- 12:14that we added a few
- 12:15years ago.
- 12:16And again, this relates to
- 12:19our, our belief that an
- 12:21important component of faculty excellence
- 12:23involves contributions that you make,
- 12:26beyond yourself to support our
- 12:28academic community mission,
- 12:30and the broader team that
- 12:31you work with.
- 12:33So this really provides you
- 12:34an opportunity to try to
- 12:36capture that briefly.
- 12:38You are asked to provide
- 12:39a description of your most
- 12:41significant, innovative or impactful contributions
- 12:44in any of these kind
- 12:45of bulleted,
- 12:47areas below or other areas
- 12:49that are contributing to,
- 12:51organizational
- 12:53or personal well-being of your
- 12:54colleagues.
- 12:56And if this is really
- 12:57a significant
- 12:58part of your clinical
- 13:00educational or research identity and
- 13:03reputation in the field, you
- 13:04can, you can always
- 13:06expand on that in each
- 13:07of the later sections,
- 13:09that I'll review next.
- 13:13So I'm just going to
- 13:14go through each of these,
- 13:16three narrative sections on the
- 13:18ones clinical, educational
- 13:20and research activities. And again,
- 13:22you have a maximum five
- 13:23hundred words here, but if
- 13:25one of these areas is
- 13:26not something you do, you
- 13:27can leave it out entirely
- 13:29or if it's a rather
- 13:30minimal,
- 13:32minimal amount of what you
- 13:33spend your effort on, it
- 13:34can be shorter. You don't
- 13:36have to write five hundred
- 13:37words. That's really the maximum.
- 13:40So, after those introductory statements,
- 13:44this first five hundred word
- 13:46description will be of your
- 13:48clinical activities.
- 13:50We don't with this revised
- 13:52version that we've been using
- 13:53for a few years, we
- 13:54don't have required subsections
- 13:56here like we used to.
- 13:58So the ones that I
- 13:59put up here that are
- 14:00in bold are only suggested
- 14:02areas,
- 14:03that might help you organize,
- 14:06some of the nature of
- 14:07your activities. Again, you don't
- 14:09need to use these subsection
- 14:11labels.
- 14:13You can create ones that
- 14:14better organize,
- 14:16your clinically oriented responsibilities
- 14:18reputation
- 14:19or if you prefer, you
- 14:20don't have to have subheadings
- 14:22at all.
- 14:23However you do it,
- 14:25we really encourage people, to
- 14:27do two things is to
- 14:28really try to lead off
- 14:30with your most significant
- 14:32contributions.
- 14:33Don't bury them at the
- 14:34end of the section when
- 14:36reviewers attention spans tend to
- 14:38wane a bit. So you
- 14:39want to kind of lead
- 14:40with your strengths,
- 14:42and to try to keep
- 14:43it relatively
- 14:44higher level of sort of
- 14:46major
- 14:47clinical roles, activities and expertise.
- 14:51How those really,
- 14:52reinforce your clinical reputation within
- 14:55and beyond Yale.
- 14:57And, again, if you don't
- 14:59do a this as a
- 15:00as a big part of
- 15:01your activity, you don't need
- 15:03to strain to make this
- 15:04more than it is.
- 15:07Again, if,
- 15:08work that you're doing on
- 15:10community well-being,
- 15:12is, is an important part
- 15:14of your, of your position,
- 15:16You can expand on that
- 15:17within this, five hundred words
- 15:20narrative.
- 15:22Likewise, for the educational activities
- 15:24narrative, again, it's five hundred
- 15:26words.
- 15:27And again, you can use
- 15:29these subheads or create your
- 15:31own or don't use subheads
- 15:32at all.
- 15:35Again, with five with five
- 15:36hundred words, you know, sometimes
- 15:38people
- 15:39find it's helpful to have
- 15:40some way of organizing that
- 15:42for,
- 15:43for a reviewer so that
- 15:44they can really zero in
- 15:46on that. You could you
- 15:47could be more,
- 15:49descriptive within the subheadings as
- 15:51well. You don't have to
- 15:52keep it, kind of broad
- 15:54like this if you really
- 15:55want to drive home,
- 15:56particular areas of of educational,
- 16:00expertise or focus.
- 16:02However you do it again,
- 16:03you want to try to
- 16:04lead with your strengths here,
- 16:06keep it as high, higher
- 16:07level as you can,
- 16:09about your educational roles, activities,
- 16:12and expertise.
- 16:14If teaching is a really
- 16:15important part of what you
- 16:16do,
- 16:18we find that reviewers appreciate
- 16:20hearing a little bit about
- 16:21your educational or teaching philosophy,
- 16:24how, in terms of how
- 16:25you approach,
- 16:27you know, the education of
- 16:28diverse learners or learners who
- 16:30are at different stages of
- 16:32training, you know, how you
- 16:33approach medical or graduate students
- 16:35versus
- 16:36residents and fellows or postdocs.
- 16:41Again, as with the clinical
- 16:42section,
- 16:43you have the option of
- 16:44expanding on and integrating,
- 16:47any of those activities that
- 16:49are promoting
- 16:50sort of well-being and organizational,
- 16:54health.
- 16:55So things that are focused
- 16:57on promoting collaborative
- 16:58excellence or leadership and professionalism
- 17:02within education
- 17:03or
- 17:04work that you're doing mentoring,
- 17:06trainees who are underrepresented
- 17:08in medicine or work that
- 17:10you really try to do
- 17:11or your teaching philosophy
- 17:13really focuses on establishing inclusive
- 17:15learning environments.
- 17:17This would really be the
- 17:18place to expand on that
- 17:19if that's sort of a
- 17:21a part of your of
- 17:22your academic identity.
- 17:25And then the, the last
- 17:27narrative section,
- 17:28is on research and,
- 17:30I'll review in a few
- 17:32slides,
- 17:33kind of what the data
- 17:34is that you would include
- 17:36within this.
- 17:37This, this is the one
- 17:38section that really hasn't changed
- 17:39very much over the years.
- 17:43It's it's it's essentially the
- 17:44same as the prior version
- 17:45of of CB2.
- 17:47This is really going to
- 17:48be the narrative summary of
- 17:49your, your research and scholarship.
- 17:51And, and again, you want
- 17:53to focus most on, the
- 17:55most significant or innovative contributions
- 17:58or the highest impact kind
- 18:00of papers or
- 18:01really high impact,
- 18:04projects that you've been involved
- 18:05in or grants that you've
- 18:06gotten. So you can you
- 18:08can summarize,
- 18:10sort of your history of
- 18:11grant support,
- 18:13that again in the CV,
- 18:15CV, you're gonna list that
- 18:16with all of the details
- 18:18associated with that. But here's
- 18:20sort of an opportunity to
- 18:21kind of
- 18:22knit together those different research
- 18:24projects and particularly as they,
- 18:27cohere around,
- 18:29kind of a scholarly theme
- 18:30that is a part of
- 18:32defining your reputation.
- 18:34I would say for this
- 18:36section,
- 18:37coherence
- 18:38of focus is probably more
- 18:40important,
- 18:42than listing every single research
- 18:44project that you've had
- 18:46a role in.
- 18:48You know, sometimes when people
- 18:49do that and the projects
- 18:51are quite varied, reviewers struggle
- 18:54to kind of get a
- 18:55sense of what your,
- 18:57your scholarly niches or where
- 18:59you're contributing to the,
- 19:01to the research literature.
- 19:04But again, it's okay to
- 19:05have more than one, but
- 19:06if you, if you have
- 19:07like ten different things and
- 19:09reviewers have a difficult time
- 19:11getting a sense of who
- 19:12you are as a scientist
- 19:13or as a scholar,
- 19:15that can kind of weaken
- 19:16the section.
- 19:18And, and as above, if
- 19:19you,
- 19:20if your work focuses on,
- 19:23you know, you know, issues
- 19:25of diversity or inclusive excellence
- 19:27or health disparities,
- 19:29or promotion of inclusive research
- 19:31practices, this would be a
- 19:33good place to,
- 19:35expand on that a bit.
- 19:39Okay. So,
- 19:41transitioning
- 19:42to the data section or
- 19:44what we call section B.
- 19:47I will kind
- 19:48of quickly
- 19:50review
- 19:51the different sections. And,
- 19:54and again, this in this,
- 19:56CV2,
- 19:57with the exception of the
- 19:58research scholarship section, you have
- 20:01a,
- 20:02some flexibility
- 20:03in how you present the
- 20:04data and some of that
- 20:06will really depend on what
- 20:07kinds of,
- 20:09you know, summaries you can
- 20:10provide or data can be
- 20:12provided from your department, particularly
- 20:14around clinical activities.
- 20:19The first section of it
- 20:20is, and people sometimes struggle
- 20:22with this,
- 20:24is there's
- 20:25a part in there which
- 20:26lists percent effort.
- 20:28This sometimes gets a fair
- 20:30amount of questions and we
- 20:31hope we've explained it in
- 20:33our guidance document on the
- 20:34OAPD website,
- 20:36something that, Doctor. Grauer,
- 20:38spent some time trying to
- 20:39do, particularly around
- 20:41how to capture,
- 20:43clinical effort,
- 20:45that, that you're doing that's
- 20:47with or without trainees
- 20:48present. Because a lot of
- 20:50times that can fall into
- 20:51either the clinical or the
- 20:52educational effort. So I won't
- 20:54go into that in great
- 20:55detail here, but we have
- 20:57sort of an explanation of
- 20:58how to
- 20:59capture,
- 21:00your percent of time,
- 21:02when you're doing education
- 21:04when you're doing clinical activities
- 21:05when you have trainees present.
- 21:10So for the first
- 21:11major section, which again is
- 21:13going to be the data
- 21:14that supports your,
- 21:16your clinical activities. I think
- 21:18on our website, we may
- 21:19have an example about kind
- 21:21of a table of clinical
- 21:22activities that was really part
- 21:24of the prior version of
- 21:26CV two.
- 21:28So people will, sometimes list,
- 21:30you know, different,
- 21:32clinics that they do or
- 21:33different locations where they're doing
- 21:35practice.
- 21:37You know, sort of how
- 21:38many hours, you know, where
- 21:39that is.
- 21:41And, and they may also
- 21:43include,
- 21:44clinical dashboards or reports that
- 21:46can be provided,
- 21:48by your department.
- 21:49If you're in a department
- 21:50that is, you know, you
- 21:51know, fairly RVU based,
- 21:54you know, sometimes,
- 21:55we just had a case
- 21:56where the person had a
- 21:57very detailed
- 21:59report of their,
- 22:00of their clinical productivity that
- 22:02was included within this section.
- 22:04We don't see that all
- 22:06that often, but that
- 22:08is certainly something that we're
- 22:09hoping would happen as, as
- 22:11our data systems have evolved
- 22:13and people can generate those
- 22:14kinds of reports about their,
- 22:15their clinical productivity.
- 22:18This is also an area
- 22:20if you are, for example,
- 22:22involved in a lot of,
- 22:23you know, quality improvement work,
- 22:26or you're involved in
- 22:28creating care pathways and this
- 22:30is really an important part
- 22:31of what you do.
- 22:33This can be a a
- 22:33good place to either create
- 22:35a table
- 22:36or or provide bulleted lists
- 22:38of different types of,
- 22:40you know, quality and safety
- 22:41or other kinds of performance
- 22:43improvement kind of work that
- 22:45you're doing.
- 22:47So typically, you would have
- 22:48some if this is a
- 22:49big part of what you
- 22:50do, you would typically have
- 22:51maybe even a paragraph about
- 22:53this
- 22:54in the clinical narrative section.
- 22:56And then here, you might
- 22:57provide an a sort of
- 22:59a listing of of some
- 23:00of the projects that you've
- 23:01either
- 23:02led, or been involved with.
- 23:05The educational,
- 23:07data section,
- 23:10we have, I think, on
- 23:11the website, Jonathan can correct
- 23:12me if I'm wrong later,
- 23:15kept sort of examples of
- 23:16what were table two and
- 23:18table three from the prior
- 23:19version.
- 23:21One of the tables is
- 23:22for kind of listing out
- 23:24your didactic seminar teaching or
- 23:26when you're teaching
- 23:28sections within a course or
- 23:30occasional lectures. And then there's
- 23:32another table that people can
- 23:34use where they can create
- 23:35a list
- 23:37of the clinical teaching or
- 23:38supervision that they do.
- 23:40And then another way for
- 23:42listing,
- 23:43your precepting or mentoring of
- 23:45trainees.
- 23:47What we ask for people
- 23:48is that,
- 23:50you only include these Yale
- 23:52educational activities that you've done
- 23:54in the past five years
- 23:56in this section.
- 23:57And which is really important
- 23:59if if education is a
- 24:00really big part of what
- 24:02you do.
- 24:03We find that, you know,
- 24:04the longer this gets with
- 24:06the listing of every single
- 24:07individual talk that that, people
- 24:10provide, the more our reviewers
- 24:12tend to just kind of
- 24:13gloss over that. We really
- 24:14don't want people to,
- 24:16to kind of do that.
- 24:18So again, you would, you
- 24:20don't have to list every
- 24:21single activity that you do.
- 24:23Like if there's a talk
- 24:24that you do repeatedly,
- 24:26you know, you know, several
- 24:27times a year in different,
- 24:29settings, you can include that
- 24:31as sort of a single
- 24:32line and then just sort
- 24:34of list the dates that
- 24:35you do that rather than
- 24:36repeatedly listing the talk.
- 24:39So we we kind of
- 24:40discourage people from having these
- 24:41sort of long list of
- 24:43each, sort of individual presentation
- 24:45that they do for for
- 24:47trainees and try to group
- 24:48them together in in in
- 24:50some way.
- 24:51You wanna, I think particularly
- 24:53highlight if you are actually
- 24:54teaching
- 24:55or co teaching an entire
- 24:56course that should really,
- 24:58get emphasized here.
- 25:01Reviewers,
- 25:02definitely recognize that as a
- 25:03really major commitment of people's
- 25:05time.
- 25:07If you have,
- 25:10you know, are very involved
- 25:12in mentoring of trainees or
- 25:14junior faculty, this would be
- 25:16the place that you would
- 25:17list this.
- 25:19There's a suggested way of
- 25:21listing,
- 25:22you know, people that you've
- 25:23served as a primary mentor
- 25:25for,
- 25:26so that you can do
- 25:27a kind of a brief
- 25:28summary of projects that you've
- 25:30mentored them on. They've gotten
- 25:32awards,
- 25:33if they're now in a
- 25:34faculty position,
- 25:36things like that to really,
- 25:38demonstrate the ways in which
- 25:40you've impacted their career.
- 25:42We really discourage people from
- 25:45list, from listing
- 25:47every single person that you've
- 25:49met with a few times,
- 25:52for,
- 25:52for mentoring or career advice
- 25:54and to really focus,
- 25:56you know, mostly on people
- 25:57for whom you've served as
- 25:58a primary or a really
- 26:00substantial,
- 26:01secondary mentor,
- 26:03in the kind of thing
- 26:04where if someone were to
- 26:05ask that person who was,
- 26:07who was one of your
- 26:08primary mentors, they would, they
- 26:09would name you. So if
- 26:11it's, you know, again, if
- 26:11it's someone that you've, you
- 26:13know, Kate, you know,
- 26:14once or twice a year
- 26:16meet with them, that that
- 26:17is that's probably not what
- 26:18we're meaning when we talk
- 26:20about, sort of a mentor.
- 26:22You can also include in
- 26:24here data related to your
- 26:26involvement in curricula or educational
- 26:29training program development.
- 26:31And then finally,
- 26:33your department
- 26:35will help you kind of
- 26:37pull teaching evaluations
- 26:39together.
- 26:40We don't expect you to
- 26:41do that and you should
- 26:43not be
- 26:44including them within your dossier.
- 26:46Your department will do that.
- 26:48And and you should not
- 26:49be including,
- 26:50excerpted quotes from,
- 26:53from teaching evaluations,
- 26:55in in this section.
- 26:56Reviewers tend to, you know,
- 26:58kind of view those as,
- 27:00kind of cherry picking when
- 27:02people do when go into
- 27:03their own teaching evaluations and
- 27:05then pull them out. You're
- 27:06you're better off,
- 27:08having the full teaching record
- 27:10and then have your reviewers
- 27:11do the the plucking out.
- 27:13And they do that. I
- 27:14I mean, they really are
- 27:15reviewers are really looking for
- 27:17those, those glowing comments to
- 27:19kind of integrate in their,
- 27:21in their presentation,
- 27:23of your promotion.
- 27:25And then the last section,
- 27:27which is a research scholarly,
- 27:31section.
- 27:32This section,
- 27:33focuses almost entirely on providing
- 27:36brief
- 27:37descriptions
- 27:38of the,
- 27:39I should back up and
- 27:40say for people who are
- 27:43actively engaged in scholarship,
- 27:46they are,
- 27:48expected to include five,
- 27:50PDF papers,
- 27:52of their most important work
- 27:54as, as a first for
- 27:55senior author.
- 27:57For faculty who are on
- 27:58the academic clinician
- 27:59track, I think our experiences
- 28:01about
- 28:02a third to a half
- 28:04of them also include publications
- 28:07that that's not required.
- 28:09And I would say,
- 28:11if you're an academic clinician
- 28:13and the publications you're going
- 28:14to include your, you know,
- 28:16your your usually third or
- 28:17fourth author on all of
- 28:19those,
- 28:20you you probably don't need
- 28:21to include those. You can
- 28:22your how you have that
- 28:23listed in your CV is
- 28:25is best because the reviewers
- 28:27are are really wanting to,
- 28:30take a look at things
- 28:31that people have been first
- 28:32or last, author papers on.
- 28:34So when I've been a
- 28:36counsel people on which papers
- 28:37to select here,
- 28:39you know, usually
- 28:41there's definitely ones where your
- 28:42first or last author.
- 28:44I generally,
- 28:46also recommend that people choose,
- 28:48ones that have appeared in
- 28:49higher impact journals,
- 28:53or if all of the
- 28:54journals are about the same
- 28:56impact,
- 28:57are all, you know, specialty
- 28:58or subspecialty
- 28:59journals,
- 29:00then I'd say pick the
- 29:01ones that are most representative
- 29:03of your work.
- 29:05And also,
- 29:06it's good to have most
- 29:08of them be within the
- 29:10past five years.
- 29:12I think it doesn't help
- 29:13people too much if the
- 29:15the five papers,
- 29:16even if they're they're really
- 29:18high impact publications, but they're
- 29:19like from seven or eight
- 29:20years ago.
- 29:22Your reviewers are wanting to
- 29:23see kind of where where
- 29:24you're going with your scholarship
- 29:26now,
- 29:28I generally recommend there's there's
- 29:30no
- 29:31requirement
- 29:32on this, but I generally
- 29:33recommend that at least half
- 29:35of these
- 29:36papers be journal articles.
- 29:39And then the other the
- 29:40other if if you're on
- 29:41the research, if you're a
- 29:42clinician scientist investigator traditional track,
- 29:45I generally recommend
- 29:47that either all of them
- 29:48be,
- 29:49research, journal publications or you
- 29:51could have maybe four of
- 29:52them. And then if you
- 29:53wrote a chapter that sort
- 29:55of summarizes your area of
- 29:56research, that'd be fine.
- 29:58For the clinician educator scholars,
- 30:01it can be kind of
- 30:02half and half.
- 30:03You do wanna have some
- 30:05research journal articles,
- 30:07but you can also have
- 30:08chapters or,
- 30:10the other types of scholarship
- 30:12that are highly valued on
- 30:13the clinician educator scholar track.
- 30:16And then with the five
- 30:17that you choose,
- 30:19we ask that you provide
- 30:20a a one hundred word
- 30:22up to one hundred word,
- 30:24kind of paragraph that summarizes,
- 30:27the importance of that paper,
- 30:29how it's relevant to your
- 30:31particular,
- 30:32you know, scholarly focus.
- 30:34You know, if it's had,
- 30:36if it's been well cited,
- 30:38you know, you can include
- 30:39information with regard to,
- 30:41kind of, impact.
- 30:44The last thing is we
- 30:45don't,
- 30:46there there is a section
- 30:47in here where you can
- 30:48list research
- 30:49collaborations you have.
- 30:51We generally
- 30:53what we,
- 30:55expect that people would do
- 30:56here is they they would
- 30:57list this when they've got
- 30:59extensive collaborations
- 31:00with faculty,
- 31:02who are either outside of
- 31:04Yale
- 31:05or are in other departments
- 31:06at Yale.
- 31:08You can create sort of
- 31:09a short table that lists
- 31:10that with the projects that
- 31:11you're a collaborator on.
- 31:14Most people don't include this,
- 31:16but when they do, it's
- 31:17usually because they they have
- 31:18extensive
- 31:19collaborations and they want to
- 31:21be able to to summarize
- 31:22that.
- 31:24We don't want people including
- 31:25a table where you list
- 31:26every person that you've collaborated
- 31:27within your department. Most reviewers
- 31:27are expecting that slide
- 31:29before we open it up
- 31:32for whatever questions you have.
- 31:41Slide before we open it
- 31:42up for whatever questions you
- 31:43have.
- 31:45Just some I think Jonathan
- 31:47had a do's and don'ts
- 31:48for CV when he did
- 31:50his last month, and so
- 31:51these are this is the
- 31:52do's and don'ts for for
- 31:54CV part two.
- 31:57As just first, as I
- 31:59I said before,
- 32:01you know, the biggest do
- 32:03is that I urge people,
- 32:05to really speak at a
- 32:06high level
- 32:07about their work and to
- 32:08speak highly of themselves.
- 32:11If that's something that is
- 32:12a real challenge for you,
- 32:15it's really helpful to rely
- 32:17on a mentor or a
- 32:18colleague who can,
- 32:20who thinks highly of you
- 32:21and and, and and can
- 32:23kind of coach you into
- 32:26really doing a better job
- 32:28of showcasing
- 32:29your many talents.
- 32:32The other way that some
- 32:33sometimes people don't kind of
- 32:34highlight things or their their
- 32:36importance is
- 32:38they they'll get so lost
- 32:40in the detail of listing
- 32:41things through the minutiae
- 32:43that who they are and
- 32:45what they've been doing gets
- 32:46a little bit lost in
- 32:47that.
- 32:49I've I've had a couple
- 32:50people over the years who
- 32:51are who are
- 32:54incredibly talented, but one talent
- 32:56that they don't have is
- 32:57writing about highly about themselves.
- 33:00And so in those sort
- 33:00of extreme
- 33:02cases, I've actually had people,
- 33:05write
- 33:06their sections as if it
- 33:07was in the third person
- 33:09as if it was somebody
- 33:10writing
- 33:11a recommendation
- 33:12about you about your clinical
- 33:13educational and scholarly,
- 33:16accomplishments.
- 33:17Almost like a letter of
- 33:18recommendation
- 33:19from,
- 33:20your your your favorite mentor
- 33:22who who wants you to
- 33:23succeed in academia
- 33:25and write it that way.
- 33:27And then go back into
- 33:28it afterwards and convert it
- 33:30over to first person and
- 33:32and only,
- 33:34you know, remove things that
- 33:35you feel absolutely uncomfortable
- 33:38saying, so positively about yourself.
- 33:41But, just to say is
- 33:42that reviewers are used to
- 33:44seeing people,
- 33:47essentially speak highly of themselves.
- 33:48They expect it.
- 33:50You don't want to go,
- 33:51you know, say anything that
- 33:52isn't true or get go
- 33:54so over the top with
- 33:55it. But usually when people
- 33:57make the mistake mistakes here,
- 33:59it's by not
- 34:00saying things as highly as
- 34:01they can.
- 34:03Just,
- 34:05another thing that we've sometimes
- 34:06seen is,
- 34:07sometimes people will include hyperlinks
- 34:10to either papers or projects
- 34:12or things that are on
- 34:13professional organization websites.
- 34:16The first thing I'd say
- 34:17is don't include those
- 34:18in your narratives.
- 34:20You really want people to
- 34:22kind of stay in story
- 34:24about you
- 34:25and anything that kind of
- 34:27takes them away from that
- 34:28into something else where where
- 34:29there's all kinds of other
- 34:30resources or other or other
- 34:32people
- 34:33are being showcased,
- 34:35and you maybe even get
- 34:36a little bit lost in
- 34:37the sauce is not a
- 34:38good idea. So if you
- 34:40really do want want,
- 34:42reviewers to,
- 34:44be able to access something
- 34:45that you've done, I would
- 34:46do that in the data
- 34:47section.
- 34:49But really make sure that,
- 34:51you know, the link is
- 34:52active,
- 34:53that they don't need to
- 34:54be a member of the
- 34:55professional organization
- 34:57where that
- 34:58information is located to be
- 35:00able to access it. It's
- 35:01it's frustrating when reviewers click
- 35:03something and then they can't
- 35:05get to it. So make
- 35:06sure that that's all checked
- 35:07out.
- 35:09And also I think I've
- 35:11said is, you know, don't
- 35:12put data in your narratives
- 35:14and and don't put
- 35:17don't put narratives in your
- 35:19data. So
- 35:20section b really should be
- 35:21tables, lists, dashboards,
- 35:24bulleted
- 35:25things, or citations.
- 35:27It should not have narrative
- 35:29paragraphs in it and likewise,
- 35:31section a,
- 35:32shouldn't be including the data
- 35:33in there.
- 35:35And,
- 35:35and as I as I
- 35:37said, it's your department's responsibility
- 35:39to
- 35:40pull in your entire teaching
- 35:42ratings.
- 35:43And,
- 35:44we really encourage people,
- 35:47and and and and I
- 35:48think a talk we have
- 35:49next month,
- 35:51we'll talk a little bit
- 35:52more about this, is that
- 35:53your department is there to
- 35:55support this, but it's really
- 35:57your responsibility
- 35:58to make sure that your
- 35:59department is either getting those
- 36:00evaluations
- 36:01done. And if they're not,
- 36:04you know, consult with one
- 36:06of us or or someone
- 36:07in, Jessica Luzi's office and
- 36:10their
- 36:10center for medical education about
- 36:12how you can,
- 36:14go about collecting
- 36:16teaching evaluations
- 36:18yourself in a way that
- 36:19is,
- 36:21you you know, that that's
- 36:21sort of reliable and valid.
