20 How to list journal articles on your CV for P&T: citation analysis, journal rankings, and author contribution: You need to provide this special information in your CV for all papers: You need to provide this special information in your CV for all papers: (1) The Impact Factor (IF) of the journal (2) The rank of that journal (ranked by IF) in its field. The ISI "Web of Science" website from HSC Library Homepage (NOT Google - #s may be different), can be used to get the citations to any of your published papers and the journal IFs and rankings. Phone or Karen Knight in the Library if you need help with this.

24 II. Personal Statement

25 Personal Statement or What Makes You Tick? Use active voice, not passive voice. Try to limit this to one page. Think about the audience. This document will be read by a range of clinicians/scientists. Cover the highpoints, dont go into too much detail on any one point. How do you define yourself? Start with the most important part of your job and end with a short summary. See examples at on P&T website

26 III. Area of Excellence a. Clinical Care

27 Criteria for Clinical Excellence (Examples) Requires at least 20% time Productivity RVUs (normalized for national standards, MGMA etc.) are the most commonly used. Strive for top 50%. With current market forces, criteria for productivity may become more stringent in the future Consistent adherence to practice-related standards Examples are P4P, JCAHO core measures, National Patient Safety Goals, etc. Candidates should be above the median. Patient Satisfaction Scores - Dept. of Market Research & Planning can supply Press Ganey data for prior 5 years in appropriate format- tell them its for P&T use. Can also supply geographic distribution of patients.

28 Other Possible Measures Adherence to performance standards Access, communication, etc. Specialty-specific outcome measures Examples are mortality rates, readmission rates, case complexity. Clinical practice improvement activities These can be documented by the candidate (can include community service). Scholarly activity applicable to the candidates clinical activity is expected. This may include peer-reviewed publications, participation in clinical trials, etc. 360-degree evaluations These are confidential and the candidates Chair or Division Chief would be responsible for collecting them.

29 Do NOT directly solicit letters from patients to support promotion Do NOT directly solicit letters from patients to support promotion

30 III. Area of Excellence b. Research

31 Research Statement Short and sweet. General description so all members can understand what you do and why it is important. Refer to the important publications that illustrate the points (not all of them) in the statement. Tell us where the work is going.

32 Research Activities Grant support (past, present and future) Co-PI status Publications (with the annotations) Review activities – journals and study sections Presentations at meetings (international and national), and other institutions Posters versus oral presentations Indicate whether presentations were invited.

33 III. Area of Excellence c. Teaching Portfolio

34 Teaching Portfolio The Teaching Portfolio is a companion to the more traditional CV. The Teaching Portfolio has two parts: A short introductory section (one page or less) that summarizes your teaching activities A short introductory section (one page or less) that summarizes your teaching activities A main body that gives detailed information about your contributions as an educator. A main body that gives detailed information about your contributions as an educator.

35 Teaching Portfolio Dos and Don'ts Keep length to pages, maximum!! Use summary data for teaching evaluations, with selected excerpts from narrative comments by students and trainees. Summarize categories of teaching experience, if extensive. Do not include syllabi, class notes, web-based materials, lab manuals or clinical cases. Exception: A short sample might be provided for major, complex creations; however, descriptions should usually suffice. Do not use an appendix.

36 Teaching Portfolio Dos and Don'ts (cont.) Do not include PowerPoint slides of your lectures unless this is something really novel. Do include student evaluations, quantification of your performance as compared with other instructors. Ask the course directors if they are collecting this information and if not tell them it is important for your next promotion. For CI and AI candidates, your postdocs and graduate students in the lab are a reflection of your teaching ability. Include documentation of how your postdocs are doing, where they are now, etc.

37 If education is an area of excellence and you want referees to see educational portfolio, append it to the c.v. If education is an area of excellence and you want referees to see educational portfolio, append it to the c.v.

38 IV. Scholarship You must select three (3) publications ONLY – provide them as pdfs. In 1-2 sentences tell us why you chose those 3 examples. This is very helpful for a reviewer not in that small field. The emphasis should be on work at UVa, particularly the work since your last promotion. If you have many to select from, be sure to include one overview paper (review; book chapter) that will give the P&T Committee a good summary of how your work fits into the field. High-impact papers are ideal. Papers from your laboratory that demonstrate independence are also important.

39 V. Letters Internal and external Independent or not From internal and external referees – ask for at least twice as many as the bare minimum. You would be amazed at how many people do not respond. Does where the letter comes from count as much as what it says?

40 Most Frequent Problems with Promotion Portfolios Candidates CV Not in the correct P&T Committee format (see instructions on the website) Redundancies in CV (do not list your publications in more than one section) Papers in preparation should not appear on your CV Education Documentation Too much information in the Education section (do not send us your Academy of Distinguished Educators portfolio application. See the instructions on the P&T website on how to adapt it for P&T.). Present teaching evaluations and ratings in condensed formats (do not include reams of raw evaluation data). Referee Letters Too few letters from External-Independent Reviewers (three is the minimum to be RECEIVED; give plenty of suggestions to your Chair (8-10 names; maximum of 20). You would be amazed how many requests are not returned. Research Documentation Be sure to list your % effort on each grant (this includes grants on which you are not the PI) Please dont abbreviate everything

41 Before you submit your portfolio, you are encouraged to consult P&T Committee members. We want to be your friend We want you to understand the P&T guidelines, know the criteria for P&T for your particular track, and. learn how to construct your best possible portfolio.
