Teaching Narrative
“I am participating in the Teaching Scholars Program from 2012-13 to deepen my skills as an educator and an education researcher. I have an interest in developing curriculum, especially blended ones that combine online learning with in-person instruction.”
Teaching Narrative
“My teaching activities largely consist of bedside teaching and supervision of house staff in the [department]. During shifts in the [department], I also conduct a brief teaching session or case conference. I have taught in the intersession classes for residents, ACLS classes for fourth year students and incoming interns, and in the Introduction to [Specialty] course.”
Teaching Narrative
“My formal teaching during the past academic years (2010-2012) has been in the context of the medical student core curriculum course [name]. In this course, I lead 20 medical students in a small group sessions.”
Clinical Narrative
“My clinical work focuses on outpatient care for a primarily Spanish-speaking, publically insured population at [hospital]. I supervise residents, medical students and nurse practitioner students in the clinic approximately 10 hours per week.”
Service Activities
“Much of my service to the Medical School was initially through work in the clinical arena, serving on numerous committees to improve patient care and patient satisfaction.
After I obtained a change of series to Clinical X, I served on the [Committee] for two years, then was appointed Vice Chair and then Chair of that committee.”
Service
“Service to my specialty, nationally, is performed primarily in two areas: service to publications and to my specialty society.
I am a member of the Editorial Board of the Annals of [Specialty], having previously served as a consulting editor and reviewer. (I continue to review as well).”
University and Public Service
“Dr. X has served twice on the Committee on Human research and once on the Cancer Center Protocol Review Committee, both committees with heavy work-loads and generous time commitments. Since 1993, Dr. X has served on the [division] fellowship steering committee and fellowship selection committee.”
Mentoring Narrative
“In my role as Mentoring Liaison for the School of Medicine to my department, I meet yearly with each faculty member in the department to review their career goals and progress with regard to teaching, research and scholarly activity, and service, as well as explain differences between series and criteria for promotion.”
