eCV: Show What You Know Sandra Burge, Ph.D. Department of Family and Community Medicine

Objectives Briefly review requirements for academic promotion Demonstrate how to use eCV to document expertise in Teaching Research Service

My Qualifications? eCV user Tenured Professor Former Member, UTHSCSA promotion & tenure committee

The Academic Life – An Overview Every university has 3 basic missions: Teaching Research Service Administrative Patient Care

The Academic Life – An Overview Each faculty must “develop excellence” in one or more of these missions “Excellence” is built by Peer Review we share our expertise with others so that… they may use our knowledge to improve their own work, and … we improve our work using their feedback. Excellent work in isolation is not scholarly!

The Academic Life – An Overview Thus, one aspect of promotion is your Reputation In teaching, research, and/or service Documented in your c.v.

The Academic Life – An Overview To get promoted at UTHSCSA… Tenured or Tenure-track faculty must demonstrate excellence in two missions and develop a national reputation Non-tenure-track faculty must demonstrate excellence in one mission and develop a local/ regional reputation

Using eCV to Document Our Expertise How do I get there? From the UTHSCSA homepage, Select “Inside UTHSCSA” Log in and select “HSC Business Applications” Select “eCV System” Lost your password? Your department has an eCV administrator

Using eCV to Document Our Expertise eCV creates a c.v. with 4 major sections: General Information Teaching Research Service

Using eCV These sections populate your c.v. BUT! Not in this sequence! These items are organized in alphabetical order, not logical order

eCV Teaching - Tips Always provide some details about the level of work & responsibility How many hours per month or year of student contact? Of preparation time? How many students? What is your role?

eCV Teaching - Tips A curriculum is more impressive than a long list of (otherwise disconnected) lectures or workshops. Use the “details” to describe a full set of lectures and workshops that comprise a curriculum

eCV – Do Not… Please do not list the same activity over and over and over again, year after year, semester after semester. Instead, include a range of dates, and details about your effort, responsibilities & role over time: “I have taught this course for 8 semesters in the last 10 years…”

eCV Teaching – FAQ “I gave a talk. Is it ‘Teaching,’ a ‘Presentation,’ or ‘Community Service?’” Burge’s Rule – consider your audience TEACHING = Talks given to your students, learners, and/or faculty in your own department/ division PRESENTATIONS = Talks given to professional audiences outside your own department COMMUNITY SERVICE = Talks given to non-professional groups, like high schools, nursing homes, boy scout troops, churches

eCV Teaching - FAQ “I am responsible for a large training program. Where does that go?” Or, “I coordinate a large set of teachers to deliver a coordinated set of talks and workshops to our trainees.” Administrative responsibilities for teaching and training programs belong in the Service Section.

eCV Teaching - FAQ “I developed a method for building learner- centered portfolios over a 3-year time span. This does not necessarily include direct face- time with students.” Special projects that support the teaching mission can be included under “Projects” in the Research Section.

eCV Teaching - Summary Course-based Teaching is generally delivered to students; must have a course number For “Other Teaching” the drop-down menu of categories will create subtitles in your c.v. DO include much detail about your effort & responsibilities. Some activities that support the Teaching Mission can be included in other sections of the c.v.

eCV Research - Publications Some cautions eCV will ask you for other UTHSCSA co-authors When you include them in the author list, this article will show up in their eCV. And vice versa (their additions on yours) When downloading Medline imports eCV may not check to determine whether this article is already on your c.v. Hence – repeated items may appear

Presentations

eCV – Research - Presentations “Presentations” are talks to professional audiences – excluding your own learners This demonstrates your reputation locally, regionally, nationally or internationally “Invited Speaker” has the highest prestige eCV includes few details about co- presenters or types of talks, I expand the description with “details”

Research Grants Research Grants

eCV Research – Grants This section should include all grants that involve you in any role (not limited to PI): Training grants Teaching innovation grants Administrative grants Clinical Service grants Research grants Conference grants Include local, state, foundation, industry, national and international granting agencies

eCV Service This section documents … coordination & administrative responsibilities, patient care, service to professional societies, participation on local, regional, national and international committees, community service and mission work, and other service.

eCV Service Most common problems with documentation: Physicians with large clinical responsibilities do not document patient care (gasp!) Administrators use only one line to document their (very valuable and complex) administrative role Faculty use this section as a “dumping ground” when they are confused about item placement Committee Work is listed multiple times

eCV Service Service includes 4 sections. Service Activities This section is the largest, with several subtitles Prof. Organizations Grant Reviews Committees – This section includes UTHSCSA and hospital committees only – not professional societies

eCV Service - Tips Your largest, most important, and most time- consuming responsibilities should get the thickest description. Use “Details” Service outside of your department documents your expertise and your reputation. Use no acronyms or initials Some readers will not be familiar with your societies or acronyms

eCV Service - FAQ “What about repetition?” In my experience, too little information is the bigger problem. Some repetition is OK. Remember to thickly describe your most important roles. One-line administrative titles are easy to miss.

eCV Service - FAQ “I just came back from deployment to Iraq; can I document that in my eCV?” I would place it in the “Service Activities” section, with a subtitle of “Service to the Government.” Use “details” to describe your role there. Deployment can also be included in the “Employment History” section.

eCV Service - FAQ “Where can I put radio interviews or newspaper quotes?” Place this in “Service Activities,” with a subtitle of “Service to the Public”. Our media exposure often serves as public education. I might label this item “Media Interviews” and include dates and venues in the description.

eCV Service - Summary “Service” includes many responsibilities and tasks that keep UTHSCSA running. “Service” also includes activities within our professional societies, journals, funding agencies, and policy-making agencies Community service counts! Include it in eCV.
