- 00:10So we oftentimes get questions.
- 00:12What's the difference between the clinical
- 00:14track and the clinician educator track?
- 00:16And because they have many similarities,
- 00:18if you look on those metrics,
- 00:20the similarities are in terms
- 00:23of their important contribution.
- 00:25Provide the highest quality of clinical
- 00:27care they may have involvement with
- 00:29trainees if they have access to trainees.
- 00:32People who may be at sites outside
- 00:34of the New Haven area may not
- 00:37have trainees at their site,
- 00:39so that may be true for the clinical track.
- 00:43In particular.
- 00:43Oftentimes they may support or conduct
- 00:46clinical investigation of different types.
- 00:48This is often within the clinic
- 00:50context of their practice.
- 00:51Certainly we all expect exemplary
- 00:53professional conduct of all of our faculty.
- 00:56The differences are in terms of education,
- 00:59the clinical track faculty typically teach
- 01:01in a clinical setting that's not always true,
- 01:04really.
- 01:04It depends upon you may be involved
- 01:07with leadership of of a teaching of
- 01:09a fellowship program or a residency.
- 01:12Some aspect of a residency program.
- 01:14You can still be on the clinical
- 01:17track and do that.
- 01:18But the clinical track is now seems
- 01:21to be embracing our people who are
- 01:25doing clinical or teaching locally
- 01:27and not necessarily getting doing
- 01:30scholarship that might be giving
- 01:33them more of a regional or national
- 01:36reputation for their their their work.
- 01:39The CE track typically includes more
- 01:42didactic sessions, formal courses,
- 01:45and more leadership in general.
- 01:48And again,
- 01:48the main difference is scholarship
- 01:50is required on the clinical and
- 01:52clinician educator track.
- 01:53And that's actually always been the case.
- 01:55That was one of the reasons why
- 01:57many of our faculty,
- 01:59who you know many years ago were
- 02:01on the clinician educator track for
- 02:03extended periods of time was because
- 02:05they were not developing a body of
- 02:07scholarship where they were getting
- 02:09recognized outside of the institution.
- 02:10And that's just something that was written
- 02:12into is written into our requirements,
- 02:15and so I think with the creation of the
- 02:17clinical track, and it's been the perception.
- 02:20That suddenly we have changed the
- 02:22requirements for scholarship on the on.
- 02:24The clinician educated track.
- 02:25But that's really not the
- 02:27case as I've always been.
- 02:29Fired.
