27. Clinician Educator Series: Questions ? Page 1 How does one pursue the clinician-educator pathway? – On the promotions packet cover page there will be a check space indicating pathway sought for this promotion What is the timeline for promotion? – The timetable will be exactly that set forth for the traditional promotions and tenure processes. Go through department P&T in fall, January 10 hard SOM deadline, notification in June. What about letters of recommendation? – Number of letters will be unchanged (professor 7/5, associate 5/3). Chairs should clarify the nature of the request to referees. What about tenure? – Tenure is not available within clinician-educator series

28. Clinician Educator Series: Questions ? Page 2 How do you switch from (or to) the traditional path? – The pathway being sought has to be specified on the cover sheet checkbox. We do not discriminate based on present status. For example, an associate professor seeking clinical professor rank just has to check the clinician-educator path on the cover sheet. Leaving this space unchecked will result in traditional evaluation. Who evaluates the candidates? – Evaluation will be by the SOM Promotions committee, the same committee that considers traditional and research candidates. Will the SOM Promotions committee award “clinical” rank when it is not explicitly sought? – No. Candidates and their chairs must identify the most viable and satisfying pathway for the candidates, and the committee will adhere to that choice. Informal preceding advice can be arranged, as always.

29. Clinician Educator Series: Questions ? Page 3 Will “fast-tracking” be possible for the clinician-educator series? – No. Fast-tracking applications are used for candidates of same rank at another (US) academic institution transferring here. Fast-tracking is not faster, or out of sequence, but rather streamlined. Because of the inconsistent definition of the “clinical” prefix across the US, the meaning of the title is difficult to interpret a priori. We now have a very tight definition for our clinician- educator series at OHSU, but even that is a marked departure from our definition last year. Therefore a full application will be required for all incoming candidates seeking rank with the “clinical” prefix. Speaking of recruits from other institutions, what about “provisional” status? – “Provisional” is a suffix used as a placeholder for recruits who the chair feels is appropriate for a given senior rank, but the faculty member is hired at a time out of sequence with the annual SOM Promotions review. The candidate may be hired at the selected rank, but the “provisional” suffix will be attached until the SOM Promotions committee can review the candidate. The Committee will consider to recommend removal of the suffix. Candidates should not retain the “provisional” suffix for more than one year. (This suffix applies to all pathways, not just the clinician-educator series.)

45. Avenues for P&T Mentorship Use annual reviews as a time to summarize activities, set goals, touch bases with Chair on progress toward promotion. No formal annual review process? Request a meeting with your Chair or Division Chief. Seek guidance from a senior faculty member.
