- 00:09Most of the faculty tracks have have
- 00:12different timelines at the assistant
- 00:15professor rank the clinician scientist.
- 00:17The traditional tenure track,
- 00:19and the investigator track all have
- 00:21a maximum of six years that you can
- 00:24spend as an assistant professor.
- 00:26That's excluding some extensions
- 00:27that I'll talk about in the moment,
- 00:30and then if you move,
- 00:31look at the assistant professors on the
- 00:34clinician educator or the clinical tracks,
- 00:36you'll you can have be reappointed.
- 00:40Several times and it's renewable
- 00:41in the assistant professor in
- 00:43the clinician educator track.
- 00:45Generally, that renewal should be forth,
- 00:48you know, up to three terms of three or
- 00:51three three year terms less than nine years,
- 00:53but we're certainly we let
- 00:54people stay much longer.
- 00:56It's not a mandatory thing.
- 00:58The university would like us not to have
- 01:00people staying as a clinician educator.
- 01:02Faculty beyond nine years,
- 01:03but we do not enforce that
- 01:06at the medical school level.
- 01:09And then you know at the
- 01:11associate professor ranks,
- 01:12you have different time periods and I just
- 01:15want to note bring up to your attention that.
- 01:17In the tenure track as
- 01:19an assistant professor,
- 01:20you spent six years,
- 01:21and then you have 10 years to 10 years.
- 01:24So you really have four years as
- 01:26an associate professor before you
- 01:27have to be appointed to tenure.
- 01:29If you've already done six years
- 01:31as an assistant professor.
- 01:33And that's the main difference
- 01:34between the traditional track and
- 01:37the clinician scientist track,
- 01:38which has no limit to the number
- 01:41of terms you can be as an associate
- 01:44professor in that in that track,
- 01:47and so it's a less your trajectory
- 01:50in terms of advancement and your
- 01:53accomplishments made us need to be
- 01:55as steep in the traditional in the
- 01:57clinician scientist track as it does
- 01:59in the in in the traditional track,
- 02:01and that has to do oftentimes
- 02:02with the type of science.
- 02:04With people and research that people
- 02:05are conducting in, the clinician,
- 02:07scientists in the traditional track.
- 02:10So I want to mention also about
- 02:12the COVID extension.
- 02:13Depending upon when you were actually hired.
- 02:15If you were hired before,
- 02:17on or before January 1st, 2021,
- 02:20then you had an automatic
- 02:21extension added to your clock,
- 02:23and if you were in different time,
- 02:25limited time limited tracks,
- 02:27it does not count to the maximum three
- 02:30years total for other approved extensions,
- 02:33you may have that those might
- 02:34be for child rearing.
- 02:35If you have a public service.
- 02:36Sleep military leave that type of thing.
- 02:40So just keep in mind that those are
- 02:42things that depending upon when you
- 02:45were appointed to your current position,
- 02:47you may have a different timeline
- 02:50or a different opportunity to
- 02:52because of the COVID.
- 02:53If you were an assistant
- 02:55professor at another institution,
- 02:563 three years or all those years
- 02:58you were at the other institution
- 03:00may count towards your clock.
- 03:02But you are given two more years that
- 03:06are are allowed that don't count.
- 03:08It's three years of total approved
- 03:11extensions.
- 03:11That gives you time to move your
- 03:14program here to Yale before you
- 03:16might be considered for advancement.
- 03:18So I asked you, do you know your
- 03:20timeline and if you want to look for it,
- 03:22you have to look for it and work day.
- 03:23And I just created a a snapshot of a
- 03:26of a of what it looks like in work day.
- 03:29You'll see this summary on
- 03:31the left where you have your.
- 03:33Your name and your title will be up here.
- 03:35If you look on under academic
- 03:37under appointment history you can
- 03:39find when you're track started.
- 03:41This person started as an undifferentiated
- 03:44ladder faculty person in 2016,
- 03:46and then when that appointment
- 03:48ended was in 2019 because then they
- 03:51were actually appointed to a track.
- 03:54At that point it was called the
- 03:56clinician scholar track in 2019 and
- 03:58in January of 2021 that name was
- 04:01changed to clinician scientists.
- 04:02So this is a. Historical record
- 04:04of what's happening in your.
- 04:06Your appointments and promotions.
- 04:08So this is how this might be recorded here.
- 04:12But you can look and find out
- 04:15when your assistant professorship
- 04:16started the appointment start and
- 04:19when your current term is ending.
- 04:21In work day and just remember
- 04:23you know your numbers of years,
- 04:25you can have in these tracks.
- 04:26It's going to be really dependent upon.
- 04:29Your your particular track that you're in.
