Description of Activities

Please supply the following information. You may amplify your answer with an explanation or a breakdown into subcategorizes. If you did not participate in one or more of the categories of activity, answer none.

1. Total time

Estimate the percent of your time spent in teaching, in research or research administration (and related scholarly activities, such as writing review articles, editing journals, etc.), in department, School or University service, and, if applicable, in clinical medicine. Although some activities combine more than one of these categories, the sum of these percentages should be 100.

2. Clinical activities

    1. Describe your clinical responsibilities and specific areas of expertise.
    1. Describe any oversight or development of clinical programs. Emphasize activities that require leadership roles in program development, quality assurance, and clinical education. It is important to include any available qualitative or quantitative measures of the extent to which your activities influence clinical care beyond the institution.
    1. Discuss measures of quality of care rendered by you directly (and the clinical program you oversee) relative to local or national benchmarks (e.g., outcomes, compliance with standards of care, efficiency and volume of care, patient satisfaction).
    1. Estimate the number of new patient referrals and established patient visits you receive per month or per year:
        • From within the Medical Center
        • From Connecticut
        • From other states/countries
    1. Estimate total hours spent per week in recurring patient care activities:
        • Weekly clinical sessions
        • Regularly scheduled procedures performed or supervised
        • Visits to hospitalized clinic patients
        • Unscheduled emergency patient encounters outside clinic hours
        • Writing follow-up letters, etc.
        • Inpatient attending responsibilities for last 3-5 years (#months/year)
    1. Where possible, please include data that address clinical output, such as RVUs, RVUs per clinic session, etc.
        • Inpatient
        • Outpatient

3. Teaching activities

    1. A. List the basic science and clinical courses at Yale School of Medicine in which you have taught during the last five years according to the format in Table 1 (see attached template). Courses include all those in the first and second years of medical school (e.g., Biochemistry, Genetics, Human Anatomy, Neurobiology, Professional Responsibility, Mechanisms of Disease) as well as in-patient and ambulatory care attending responsibilities (e.g., supervision of fellows in subspecialty clinic, supervision of students in office practice, housestaff lectures). Courses also include those taught to graduate students and at the postgraduate level. Describe original educational materials you have developed for these courses (e.g., syllabi, exams, handouts, internet resources, video media). Provide explanations for any courses or roles that may not be familiar to the promotions committee.
    1. List courses you direct or help direct, including courses to medical students, undergraduates, and graduate students as well as fellowships, residencies, and other training programs. For each course you direct, provide a summary of the strategy you use to evaluate the curriculum and summarize the findings. List your involvement in other educational leadership activities, including committee memberships and seminar administration. Include your involvement with national organizations that have major educational missions. You may attach copies of course syllabi. Do not include standard lecture handouts.
    1. Within the medical center, list major lectures, seminars, workshops or other teaching sessions you have presented in each of the past five years outside of formal courses (e.g., grand rounds, section meetings, section clinical conferences). Describe important educational materials you may have developed for these courses (e.g., syllabi, exams, handouts, internet resources, video media). You may include teaching activities at local institutions affiliated with Yale.
    1. Outside of the medical center, list invited lectures, faculty service in CME courses and workshops you have presented in each of the past five years (specify date, location, title of activity, and sponsoring organization). List original educational materials you may have developed, such as syllabi for review courses and computer, multimedia, or Internet-based projects.
    1. List your involvement in any clinical guidelines committees over the last 5 years, both local and national.
    1. Prepare a statement of one, single-spaced typewritten page or less summarizing the nature of your contributions to the educational mission of the medical school. This summary should include:
        • Your main involvement as a teacher, including courses, type of teaching (lectures, clinical supervision, laboratory supervision) and the quantity of these involvements relative to other activities such as research, administration, and patient care.
        • A representation of the impact of your teaching on your department’s educational mission and YSM’s educational mission.
    1. Name the Postdoctoral Fellows whose scholarly work was primarily or significantly performed under your guidance during the past 3-5 years. Please include any independent awards fellows received under your mentorship.
    1. Name the M.D., Ph.D., or M.P.H. students to whom you served as thesis advisor during the past 3-5 years. Please include any independent awards trainees received under your mentorship.
    1. Name any faculty to whom you have served as primary mentor. Please include any career development grants awarded to faculty members that you have mentored.

4. Research and related scholarly activities

    1. Prepare a statement of up to five, single-spaced typewritten page or less summarizing the nature of your research/scholarly contributions, the new information this work has generated and your estimate of the impact of this information on progress in your major field of interest.

      Submit reprints of those publications which most clearly illustrate your major achievements. Include a description of each article and why the article is important. In addition to peer-reviewed articles, you may include books, course syllabi, or other works of scholarship.
    1. Summarize your role in collaborative research. Include names and departments of collaborators here and at other institutions.
