00:00Office for Academic and
00:02Professional development and the
00:04resources that has available.
00:06The best way for me to do this is to
00:07begin by walking you through the website.
00:09This is a website that Jonathan Brauer
00:12associating for Faculty Affairs was
00:13very instrumental in and building
00:15and putting together with our
00:17communications team several years ago.
00:21And we continue to provide,
00:22updated and provide new information
00:24on the website.
00:25I encourage you to think about going
00:28to this website for any information
00:30you need about the faculty life cycle.
00:32Is is meant to serve as a point of of
00:341 central portal where you can access
00:37have a question about what you want
00:39to find something about Yale you can
00:41answer this portal and you should be
00:43able to get directed to where you need to go.
00:46It's important.
00:47This is the the the website home page.
00:52If you type in any browser Yale OAPD,
00:55you should be able to.
00:56It should be at the top of
00:58the search you'll see that.
01:01Let's see if I can do this,
01:02That at the top of this
01:04pointer is not showing.
01:08So at the top here there a drop
01:10down menu that if you click on it
01:12you can see a number of different
01:14tabs that you can click on.
01:15And if you were to look at the
01:18About OAPD tab, you'll realize this
01:19is actually about two offices.
01:21One is the Office of Academic Affairs
01:22and the other is the office of Bob
01:24leaves the Office of Professionalism,
01:25Leadership Development.
01:26You'll find information about our
01:28AM P committees who's on those and
01:30the Board of Permanent Officers.
01:31When you become a tenured or a
01:34tenured faculty member or a professor
01:36and a continuing employment,
01:38you become a member of the
01:40Board of permanent Officers.
01:41And these individuals,
01:42this group are responsible for the I
01:44really the governing body of the school.
01:46And that's a very important group
01:48in the in the for making decisions
01:50that go are related to the school.
01:53If you move over to Academic Affairs and
01:55look at the different items under that,
01:58you'll see that you can find your
02:00faculty affairs department teams.
02:01If you have a question that's related
02:03to your academic appointment,
02:05your faculty employment,
02:06your employment here at Yale,
02:07you should be actually talking to
02:09your faculty affairs coordinators,
02:11the central resource in your department,
02:13to help you get information you need.
02:16We also have information about the
02:18faculty tracks, ranks and positions,
02:21information about appointments
02:23and appointments and promotions,
02:25and information you need in order to
02:27advance in your tracks if you want
02:29to switch tracks that you're in,
02:31information about that if you
02:33need to have a leave of absence,
02:35whether it's a sabbatical,
02:36triennial leave,
02:37or whether it's
02:40a child rearing leave or caregiver leave,
02:42this is where you can get
02:44information about that information.
02:45And then there's a tab that's
02:47just processes and documents,
02:48if you're looking for
02:49something related to that.
02:51So please make sure you actually
02:54familiarize yourself with this,
02:55this area of the website.
02:57If you look under faculty resources,
02:59this is the central hub.
03:00As I mentioned, there's a general page,
03:02but there's also a link to the diversity,
03:04equity inclusion websites.
03:06There's a link to benefits.
03:08There's a link to well-being in mental
03:11health, information about anything,
03:14clinical anything,
03:15research and medical education,
03:17the library communications.
03:18If you're building a website,
03:20Yale has very specific requirements
03:22for building websites.
03:23So those of you are in labs
03:25or who are trying to build a
03:26website of your clinical work,
03:28you should definitely speak with them.
03:30And then also information about
03:31compliance and safety training.
03:33So this again is is really it's
03:35it's a central hub and you can find
03:38whatever information you need there.
03:40We also run a faculty development
03:43series for junior faculty.
03:44This is a series of lectures that are
03:47given twice monthly during the academic year.
03:50We'll be posting the next
03:52year's schedule in shortly,
03:54probably by the end of August.
03:56And the goal here is to help people
03:59actually get information they need
04:01and have and participate in workshops
04:03on top various topics that are
04:04related to being a faculty member
04:06here at Yale in the springtime.
04:08We in particular go over
04:10information about appointments,
04:12reappointments and promotions
04:13and information about your CV
04:15part one and your CV Part 2,
04:17how to construct those
04:19and teaching evaluations.
04:20So I would encourage you to look at
04:23the early to attend some of those.
04:25There's also information about
04:27we after this orientation is
04:29done we'll be posting videos of
04:32the orientation itself on on the
04:34website and information related
04:36to faculty on boarding.
04:37And I'm going to turn this over now to
04:39Bob to talk about the leadership and
04:41development seminars that are that he has.
04:45It's really a pleasure to to get to to to
04:49present to you all my office is or the
04:53team in in OAPD is really about promoting
04:56professionalism within the school,
04:58developing leaders and elevating Wellness.
05:01And so those those are our three
05:03missions and we're trying to present
05:05seminars and opportunities for you
05:07to learn about those those issues.
05:11And with the the goal that we're
05:12going to improve the the culture
05:14and the climate of the school for
05:16able to develop better leaders,
05:17promote professionalism and elevate
05:19elevate Wellness and wellbeing.
05:22So the the,
05:24the leadership kinds of of work that
05:26we're going to be doing is a monthly
05:29seminar that provides you with with
05:31things like how do you listen?
05:33The Dean said listening was such
05:35an important part of leadership
05:37and and we agree with that.
05:38But how do you develop better
05:41listening skills?
05:41How do you become accountable to yourself
05:44and how do you hold other people accountable?
05:47How do you develop an
05:48individual development plan?
05:49So we'll have seminars that
05:51that help you think about that
05:53from a wellbeing perspective.
05:55How do you,
05:56how do you find out about these benefits?
05:58That there's something on the the
06:00website about those benefits,
06:01but they're complicated.
06:02And so having a seminar in which
06:05someone who's expert in that area will
06:07be able to help you think through,
06:08what are the benefits for child care?
06:10What are the benefits for elder care?
06:13What are your financial planning
06:15through Tia CREF,
06:16Really important issues that we
06:18want you to get familiar with.
06:21And lastly some leadership
06:22development for senior leaders.
06:24So using consulting skills and and
06:27being able to to consult effectively,
06:29being able to coach effectively
06:32and and learning what contemporary
06:35leadership ideas are and how do
06:37they affect and and are implemented
06:40into the the Yale environment.
06:45There are lots of definitions
06:46of professionalism out there.
06:48Many times there are long lists
06:49of don't do this and don't do
06:51that and for sure don't do this.
06:53What we've tried to do is is collect the
06:57policies and procedures here at Yale
06:59that are pertinent to professionalism.
07:01So the Yale University faculty
07:04standards of conduct,
07:05the professionalism standards
07:07for Yale Medicine and at Yale
07:09New Haven Hospital for those who
07:12are involved in clinical work.
07:14And we've included those on the website.
07:15So you'll be able to go in and really
07:18understand what professionalism
07:19means here at Yale
07:23from an academic integrity standpoint.
07:25We take research very seriously and
07:28research integrity very seriously.
07:30And so we're also able to to
07:32look into allegations that might
07:34involve research integrity.
07:38You know, I'm a graduate
07:40of the medical school.
07:41I stayed for for residency and
07:43fellowship and then joined the faculty.
07:45And I've had really wonderful
07:46experiences at Yale. I'm.
07:48I'm really hopeful that many
07:49of you are going to have those
07:51those same kinds of experiences.
07:53And at the same time,
07:54I recognize that that there that
07:56Yale was not a perfect institution
07:58and that we need to be able to
08:02reform the the institution.
08:03And there were things that
08:05happened to me along the way that
08:07I wish I had had a chance to be
08:09able to talk to others about.
08:10And so,
08:11so our office is really the place
08:13that you can come in and do that.
08:14We're really able to to sit down
08:16and and hear what's going on with
08:19you in a confidential manner.
08:21We can talk with you about the
08:22the appropriate office.
08:23There's lots and lots of offices
08:25that deal with issues at Yale
08:27and we we have expertise in being
08:29able to triage that for you.
08:33We're able to to really think through
08:35what are the interventions that might
08:37be might be useful in this in this
08:40situation and importantly you guide us
08:42in those interventions that we're not a
08:44place where if you come and tell us about
08:46something that's going on we run off
08:48and do things without your your input.
08:50We really want to make sure that you
08:52remain at the center of those those
08:54issues and then we want to make sure
08:56that you that you get follow up from us.
08:58You know, Connecticut State law
09:00precludes us from being able to
09:02say exactly what happened,
09:03but we can give you a sense of the type
09:06of intervention that's that's happened.
09:10Again, I want to really emphasize that the
09:12interventions are ones that you've approved.
09:14So we're not going out and doing
09:17things that you haven't let us know
09:19that would be would be okay with you
09:21and we're really aiming at remediating
09:24the faculty member that's that you've
09:26had an adverse interaction with.
09:29So we want this to make to be
09:31a place where we remediate.
09:32We make sure it doesn't happen
09:35to someone else again and again.
09:37Through that we improve the culture
09:39and climate at this school. All
09:43right many many ways to to report to us.
09:46My preference it was that you send me an
09:49e-mail or you give us a call and then
09:51we said we set up a time and we come and
09:53and talk about what's what's going on.
09:56I just that's the that's the most
09:58effective if you if you want to you
10:01can report to us in an anonymous
10:03way through the the website has a
10:05report of professionalism concern
10:07red button and you can report either
10:10anonymously or or leave your name
10:12and number and we'll get back to you.
10:14If you If you report anonymously
10:16the only thing that we know about
10:18what happened was what you report.
10:20There is a not another way to report
10:23anonymously through the university hotline,
10:25and this is a really cool system
10:27where it's administered by a third
10:29party outside the university.
10:31You report what happened,
10:32they reported to us the the concern,
10:35but then they can facilitate a a
10:39confidential anonymous conversation by
10:41us asking questions to the third party,
10:43the third party vendor asking
10:45those questions to you.
10:46You're replying back to those questions
10:48and so we can we can have a much more
10:51effective intervention if you use the third,
10:53the university hotline to to report
10:55if you decide to do it anonymously.
11:03All right,
11:06Lots of ways in which we
11:08can keep confidentiality.
11:09You know, if something has
11:11happened in a public setting,
11:12that's that's an easy way
11:13to do it if something hasn't
11:15happened in the public setting.
11:17But it's something that we think might
11:19have happened to more than just you.
11:21We can go in and do interviews with
11:24other other people that are that
11:26might be involved and find out if
11:28they've had similar experiences and
11:31and oftentimes we can do things
11:33that mitigate what's happened to
11:34you without having to talk about
11:39your experience specifically and so
11:41maintain your your confidentiality.
11:45The other piece of this that's really
11:47important is, is no retaliation.
11:49University has a very strong policy
11:52against that prohibits retaliation.
11:54When we do work with a a faculty member,
11:57we're very strong in terms
12:00of the education that we do.
12:03We talk about the different forms
12:05in which retaliation can take and
12:07how that's those are prohibited.
12:09And we we talked about the
12:10problem right now is this big,
12:12but if there is any sense of retaliation,
12:14it becomes this big.
12:15And so we are effective about making
12:20sure that retaliation does not happen.
12:25I know you're going to.
12:26You all have already heard
12:27lots of specific information
12:29from from lots of people today.
12:30The most important part of this is welcome.
12:33We're really glad to to have
12:35you on faculty. Thanks so much.
