  • 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.
