September 19, 2022
  • 00:00But welcome everybody.
  • 00:03We're going to get going with this
  • 00:05first workshop of the year for the
  • 00:08Office of Academic and Professional
  • 00:10Development Faculty Workshop series.
  • 00:13What we're going to do today is
  • 00:15kind of do some talking about
  • 00:16general ranks and tracks and we're
  • 00:18really excited to have you join us.
  • 00:20This is going to be a
  • 00:23recurring lecture series.
  • 00:24We are going to be giving CME for this,
  • 00:27for, you know, everybody who joins
  • 00:29for each of the individual sessions.
  • 00:31The slide was up, Vic.
  • 00:33You don't mind just putting
  • 00:34in the chat the CME code?
  • 00:36And for those of you who I assume
  • 00:38most of you are getting used to this
  • 00:41whole CME process with the cloud
  • 00:43based thing that you text the CME
  • 00:45Yale CME number and text it just by.
  • 00:49You know once you have that number I
  • 00:51suggest putting in your rolodex Yale CME.
  • 00:53And then you text him that number
  • 00:55and it will Ding you back and say
  • 00:56it's got it so you can certainly.
  • 00:59E-mail the office if there are
  • 01:01any questions related to that.
  • 01:03That often causes some questions
  • 01:05the first time you do it,
  • 01:07so I'm just going to quick share my
  • 01:09screen as I introduce today's session
  • 01:12and then we'll introduce ourselves.
  • 01:14If you can see my screen,
  • 01:16this is the main OPPD website.
  • 01:19A lot of stuff we talk about
  • 01:21the informations up and this
  • 01:22is our chance to discuss it.
  • 01:24I often suggest to people not
  • 01:26to worry about bookmarks and
  • 01:27remembering things and web addresses.
  • 01:29If you just type in Yale OA PDI
  • 01:30on your search browser, it will.
  • 01:32I'm almost everyone I've ever been on,
  • 01:35bring you right to our main website.
  • 01:38On the upper right,
  • 01:39there's a calendar of events
  • 01:40and if you click on that,
  • 01:42it'll list out today's workshop
  • 01:44and then it goes through all the
  • 01:46upcoming workshops as we have it.
  • 01:48As you click into them,
  • 01:50it gives you additional bulleted information.
  • 01:52For example, the next one,
  • 01:55if I click into that,
  • 01:56it kind of who's speaking kind
  • 01:57of topics will be covering.
  • 01:59So there really is a lot of information
  • 02:02that we're populating on the website.
  • 02:05For the two of us speaking today,
  • 02:06Sam,
  • 02:07do you want to do introductions first?
  • 02:15So I'm I'm Sam Ball with that,
  • 02:17with Jonathan Grauer.
  • 02:18I'm one of the associate Dean for
  • 02:20faculty affairs and I serve as
  • 02:22a liaison to the non procedural
  • 02:24departments in the medical school.
  • 02:27You're welcome. Thank you.
  • 02:31Jonathan Grauer from
  • 02:32Department of Orthopedics,
  • 02:33also one of the associate Deans,
  • 02:34faculty of Affairs and work
  • 02:36with Sam as a counterpart.
  • 02:38Kind of both of us working on
  • 02:39a lot of the bigger projects,
  • 02:41but I'm I'm kind of a point
  • 02:43person for procedural departments.
  • 02:47Great. So what we were hoping to do for,
  • 02:51for anybody who was new, they may have
  • 02:54been to the new faculty orientation.
  • 02:56Some of the stuff we're going to go over is
  • 02:58going to be a little repetitive with that.
  • 03:00But then what we're going to
  • 03:01do is kind of our structure is
  • 03:03going to be general introduction.
  • 03:04We're going to show a short few short videos,
  • 03:06really short thinking that, you know,
  • 03:08that's really where we can get people
  • 03:10most engaged on things and then we're
  • 03:12going to go into breakouts by track
  • 03:14because a lot of the questions and points
  • 03:16that people might want to talk about.
  • 03:18Are are probably somewhat specific
  • 03:21to the the tracks and what they do.
  • 03:24I'm thinking that that's going
  • 03:25to be the most helpful.
  • 03:27So I bring us back just in terms of the
  • 03:29orientation because a lot of the information,
  • 03:32the gender like that really nuts
  • 03:33and bolts is, is on the website.
  • 03:36If you went to the main website
  • 03:38under academic affairs,
  • 03:40we have a lot of information
  • 03:42about faculty tracks,
  • 03:43ranks and positions.
  • 03:46And it has some overview information
  • 03:49that we're going to do together
  • 03:51and then it goes into a lot of
  • 03:54specifics on each one of the tracks.
  • 03:59And and that becomes really important,
  • 04:01tracks in general really
  • 04:03represent kind of the.
  • 04:05Phenotype the the type of a way
  • 04:08we're all contributing to the Med
  • 04:11school and how we can kind of.
  • 04:13Work on the things that are kind of both
  • 04:16expected of us and that are there to help
  • 04:19mentor us all to progress in those ways.
  • 04:22But also then there's some of the
  • 04:24mechanics in terms of the A&P process.
  • 04:27So we were going to start
  • 04:28embedded through here.
  • 04:29We've had a lot of requests for video
  • 04:31and we're actually just going to show
  • 04:32some of these short videos for two of
  • 04:34the short videos to get us started.
  • 04:35They're literally just a few minutes
  • 04:37because that's been a big request.
  • 04:38We're recording today's workshop.
  • 04:40We're going to record future ones.
  • 04:42It's really going to be a
  • 04:44focus with the recordings.
  • 04:45That we do have the workshops on the general,
  • 04:48not the the Q&A period,
  • 04:50so the breakouts,
  • 04:51but we'll be recording this as well just
  • 04:53because there been so many requests for that.
  • 04:55So as an overview,
  • 04:58Linda Bockenstedt has given a a good
  • 05:01overview that I'm going to play here,
  • 05:03so.
  • 05:05See if make sure this works.
  • 05:18As a successful organization we have to
  • 05:21have successful faculty and that includes
  • 05:23people who are in the non ladder ranks,
  • 05:26instructional positions
  • 05:28like instructor or lecturer,
  • 05:31people who are in the research
  • 05:32ranks and all the people who are on
  • 05:35our various ladder faculty track.
  • 05:37And I think that was the best.
  • 05:39I keep saying this over and over.
  • 05:41That was best really demonstrated
  • 05:43during the COVID.
  • 05:44Initial COVID epidemic when we all came
  • 05:47together to try to work and and combat
  • 05:51our issues with that pandemic at Yale.
  • 05:55So we have all these faculty
  • 05:58tracks and ranks.
  • 05:59I talked about this a little bit.
  • 06:01We have about right now about
  • 06:03750 people or so in the research
  • 06:07ranks and about 700 or so in the
  • 06:11clinical instructional ranks.
  • 06:12You include some of the.
  • 06:15As at the lectures as well.
  • 06:18But the latter faculty ranks are a
  • 06:20little bit confusing to some people
  • 06:22because unlike other institutions,
  • 06:23we have not just one track or two tracks,
  • 06:27we actually have 5.
  • 06:29And this has been something we've.
  • 06:34I see.
  • 06:35Ask departments to decide who to
  • 06:37to determine which tracks people
  • 06:40are in as of July 2019,
  • 06:42and this is the reason why.
  • 06:44If you look at how our faculty
  • 06:46have grown since 2013,
  • 06:48we're now up to nearly not
  • 06:51quite twice as many.
  • 06:53In the total ladder faculty ranks,
  • 06:56most of that has been driven by the
  • 06:59clinical expansion of through your
  • 07:00mainland hospital system and our
  • 07:02clinical programmatic growth in general.
  • 07:04If you look at the size of the basic
  • 07:07science departments they have,
  • 07:09this is the.
  • 07:11The blue line at the bottom
  • 07:13here they've grown,
  • 07:13but not anywhere nearly as much
  • 07:16as the clinical departments.
  • 07:18And the basic stand up school of
  • 07:20Public health is also grown as gone
  • 07:22from 60 to 96 faculty ladder faculty,
  • 07:24which is a significant increase
  • 07:26for the School of Public Health.
  • 07:28But in comparison to the rest
  • 07:30of the Yale School of Medicine,
  • 07:32it's much smaller.
  • 07:33And if you look at the latter faculty tracks,
  • 07:36you can see that most of the
  • 07:38growth has been on the Commission
  • 07:40educator and the clinical track with
  • 07:42lesser growth in the traditional
  • 07:45position scientists initially,
  • 07:46scientist track and the investigator track.
  • 07:50In 2019, because prior to that a 2019,
  • 07:54most of the assistant professors
  • 07:57were undifferentiated and you could
  • 07:59choose a sensibly your career track
  • 08:00that you wanted to be on at the time
  • 08:03you moved to associate professor,
  • 08:05or could declare position educator
  • 08:07at the assistant professor rank.
  • 08:09When we changed it to,
  • 08:10everybody who entered the latter
  • 08:12faculty had to have a a track assigned.
  • 08:14You saw a jump in some of the tracks
  • 08:17because the assistant professors are
  • 08:18now being added to the numbers down here.
  • 08:21But these tracks,
  • 08:22these resource intensive tracks,
  • 08:24have remained relatively flat in
  • 08:26comparison to the clinical and
  • 08:28the clinician educator track.
  • 08:39So. That's kind of a big
  • 08:44overview of what the.
  • 08:47Tracks and and positions are.
  • 08:52But a lot of the questions we get
  • 08:55are really about the the details
  • 08:58about the nuances of what's expected
  • 09:02and kind of what is the overall.
  • 09:06Different characteristics of
  • 09:07people in different tracks.
  • 09:09So we're going to show one other
  • 09:12just general video and track
  • 09:14and rank expectations and again,
  • 09:16this is there for anybody going back to it.
  • 09:32So, do you know the expectations
  • 09:34of your letter track and I would
  • 09:36suggest that you look for this
  • 09:38information from you OP website.
  • 09:40You can see faculty tracks,
  • 09:42ranks and positions under the
  • 09:44academic Affairs tabs and
  • 09:45the faculty on the Left here.
  • 09:47They also you can look at individual
  • 09:50tracks here to see if your
  • 09:52requirements for what you're doing
  • 09:54fit align with what is listed in the
  • 09:56different ranks here on the left.
  • 09:59But there are documents that this is
  • 10:01a faculty type of metrics document.
  • 10:03Here and and and the latter faculty
  • 10:06track metrics here on the right
  • 10:09that you can download a copy
  • 10:11of of what those metrics are,
  • 10:13and if you look at them,
  • 10:15those metrics will show you the clinical CE,
  • 10:18the clinician scientist,
  • 10:20the investigative and traditional track,
  • 10:23and the different responsibilities,
  • 10:25research activities, effort, allocation.
  • 10:28This is important to pay attention to.
  • 10:32And also sources of funding,
  • 10:34types of scholarship type and
  • 10:36at the time of the promotion,
  • 10:38what kind of reputation have you should have.
  • 10:41And also at the very bottom,
  • 10:43this applies to all ranks and
  • 10:46all tracks are that all faculty
  • 10:47are expected to uphold,
  • 10:48the university faculty stands to
  • 10:50conduct and the mission values of the
  • 10:53medical school and that you should
  • 10:55be contributing to the diversity,
  • 10:57success and well-being of the
  • 10:59academic community.
  • 10:59So this is really important because we do.
  • 11:02Expect this of our faculty.
  • 11:04It's written into the offer letters.
  • 11:06Now that professionalism is something
  • 11:08that's very important to our institution.
  • 11:18OK.
  • 11:19So that we thought might just be
  • 11:22some helpful kind of introductory
  • 11:25background before we kind of
  • 11:27talk about kind of breaking a
  • 11:28little bit into different tracks.
  • 11:30I guess let me just ask if there are some.
  • 11:33General questions that anybody might have.
  • 11:35We really want to try to make
  • 11:37this an interactive discussion.
  • 11:46There's a question from Yvonne. Yeah so
  • 11:50if a just if I understood correctly.
  • 11:52So traditional track would be
  • 11:54like what the typical assistant
  • 11:57associate professor is like.
  • 11:59For example if you talking about basic
  • 12:01science department and investigate the
  • 12:04track would be non tenure letter track.
  • 12:07Is that correct understanding?
  • 12:11Yes and and I'll go into a little bit
  • 12:13more detailed and in my breakout room
  • 12:15about that it just didn't know little
  • 12:17bit different than it used to be.
  • 12:19That's why I kind of like.
  • 12:24And for a lot of people
  • 12:25that you know when we look at the most
  • 12:28similar tracks are are most of the
  • 12:30discussions we have are people looking
  • 12:32to contrast the three tracks you just
  • 12:35mentioned or contrasting clinical
  • 12:37and clinical educator track, right.
  • 12:40There are of course the interface between
  • 12:42clinical educator and clinician scientists,
  • 12:44but most of the discussions we have
  • 12:46are within the spheres of the more
  • 12:49research intensive tracks and the
  • 12:51more clinically intensive tracks.
  • 12:53Or where a lot of our discussions
  • 12:54are and that's why you know we're
  • 12:56what we'd like to do then is,
  • 12:58is break a bit into those sections to
  • 13:00be able to have those discussions.
  • 13:03And I would just add to that Jonathan
  • 13:06and why this this group would come
  • 13:08with me if there's any on the call is
  • 13:10the other differentiation that faculty
  • 13:12are particularly interested in is,
  • 13:14you know being on the research ranks,
  • 13:16other words being an associate
  • 13:18research scientist and you know how
  • 13:21do I go on to the ladder ranks.
  • 13:23So. So we'll we'll talk a little
  • 13:24bit about that too.
  • 13:33Great. Well, Victoria,
  • 13:34I can leave to you two to figure
  • 13:35out how to make that next step happen.
  • 13:37So, Gloria, before I
  • 13:39explain the breakout group,
  • 13:41can you just confirm that I'm a co-host?
  • 13:43My participant list shows that
  • 13:46Gian Filippo is the Co host,
  • 13:49but I may just be.
  • 13:51Miss reading one moment.
  • 13:56Because I don't want to get
  • 13:57lost as I get assigned to my own
  • 13:59breakout room. That's always bad.
  • 14:12Yeah, you should be all set.
  • 14:15So what we're going to do,
  • 14:17we have a small group which will be made,
  • 14:19made smaller by the breakout is as
  • 14:21Jonathan explained, we're going to
  • 14:22have two different breakout groups,
  • 14:24the one that John that that I'll be doing,
  • 14:26which is going to be a breakout room 1.
  • 14:29Victoria will put up those two
  • 14:32options when I get through speaking.
  • 14:34So I'll do a breakout group on #1
  • 14:36and this is for people who are
  • 14:38on what for lack of better term,
  • 14:40we'll call the research and research
  • 14:42intensive kind of faculty appointments, so.
  • 14:45This would be people who are on
  • 14:47the clinician scientist track,
  • 14:49investigator track, or the traditional track.
  • 14:53It would also include people who
  • 14:55are associate research scientist
  • 14:57or research scientist.
  • 14:59And it would also include a people who,
  • 15:02if they are an instructor and are
  • 15:04like on a K award and they are hoping
  • 15:07to move into one of these kind of
  • 15:10research tracks at some point.
  • 15:12So that'll be breakout group #1
  • 15:14and then break out group #2.
  • 15:16Which Jonathan will be facilitating
  • 15:18will be for people on what again
  • 15:20for lack of a better term,
  • 15:21we'll call the clinically intensive tracks.
  • 15:24So that will be people who
  • 15:26are on the clinical track,
  • 15:28people who are on the clinician
  • 15:30educator track.
  • 15:31And if you're an instructor who's in
  • 15:33much more who's I'd say spending greater
  • 15:36than 50% of your time doing clinical work,
  • 15:39you would go with,
  • 15:40with Jonathan got questions about and
  • 15:43and if you're not a faculty and you are.
  • 15:46You know one of the faculty affairs
  • 15:48leaders from your department that are
  • 15:50listening and you can go to whichever
  • 15:52whichever one you'd like to learn more about.
  • 15:54Leave that to you.
  • 15:55We don't have the capacity to
  • 15:57go switching back and forth.
  • 15:59So again,
  • 16:00the research group come with me
  • 16:02and Group One and the clinical
  • 16:04group with Jonathan and Group 2.
