16. Example 1: Biographical narrative My scholarship of practice is grounded in our tripart mission— excellence in patient care, teaching, and research: with excellence in patient care being the crucial element for the success of our other two missions. I have excelled in all three missions with having obtained successful clear-cut metrics for teaching (College of Medicine Professor of the Year 2002, Bertha Bouroncle Teaching Award, and Internal Medicine Clerkship Teaching Award) as well as multiple years of regional and national recognition for exceptional patient care (America's Best Doctors, America's Top Physicians U.S News and World Report). Research in The James is a major focus. I actively participate in numerous clinical trials. Administratively, our quality program has done multiple clinical trial projects that have improved access, efficiency, documentation, and quality and patient safety of patients on clinical trials.

17. Example 1: Continued…. Early in my academic career my focus was on the individual patient. It now revolves around the system and process improvements that help provide the best care for all of our patients. Through my leadership and administrative responsibilities I have made numerous and major scholarship of practice contributions as it relates to: curriculum development, practice guidelines, standard operating procedures, improved transparency, professionalism, improved Quality and Patient Safety as well as increased efficiencies, resource utilization, and profitability to The James as well as Wexner Medical Center.

18. Example 2: Biographical narrative After coming to Ohio State in 1988, I have made education a priority. In 2008-2009, I completed the Ohio State Faculty Teachers Scholars Program, an 18 month longitudinal program to help improve skills in teaching and scholarship. In 2009, I completed the Harvard Macy Program for Educators in the Health Professions in Boston. The major objective of this faculty development session was to develop the strategies and skills required to lead organizational change and drive innovation. After completing the course, I was offered the position of Assistant Dean for Clinical Sciences at Ohio State. In 2011, I was accepted into the MHPE (Masters of Health Professions Education) program at the University of Illinois at Chicago, arguably the most competitive program granting an advanced degree in medical education. The program takes, on average, 3-5 years to complete.
