will be spent in the clinical environment (both the operating rooms and ambulatory care settings). The teaching component will include informal teaching in the operating room, ambulatory care sites, inpatient units with minimal formal didactic responsibilities. Appointment to committees is admirable; however, should not take precedent over developing clinical, research and teaching skills. Documentable results in the form of one or more publications per year in peer reviewed journals and presentations is encouraged and expected.
Assistant Professor
Assistant Professors in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery have had extensive training in ENT or related ancillary fields of study and have or are eligible for certification relating to their clinical discipline. Assistant Professors are capable of evaluating most disorders related to their discipline and developing proper treatment plans; however, they seek assistance from more senior faculty and other colleagues for patients with highly complex problems. Development of clinical, research and scholarly career objectives are expected with documentation in the form of publications in peer reviewed journals, abstracts and presentations at local, state, national and international meetings. Application for a career development award is encouraged. When averaged over a career interval, a minimum of productivity of two publications in peer reviewed journals per year, as 1 st , 2 nd , or senior author, is indicative of maintaining a scholarly workload. For promotion, evidence of academic productivity while at University of Cincinnati has greater weight than previous work at other institutions. Teaching activities will involve both informal and formal instruction on the medical student, resident, fellow and graduate levels. Teaching should not be limited to the classroom but encompass instruction in the operating room environment, laboratory sessions, in-patient units and ambulatory care sites as well as on the department and college levels.
Associate Professor
Associate Professors are clinical scholars with a distinguished record of excellence in clinical research, teaching, high quality patient care and/or other noteworthy activities. It is recognized that faculty in this pathway must excel in several academic areas, but not necessarily in all of the facets of academic life that are mentioned above. Individuals who have obtained the rank of Associate Professor in this tenure track are required to participate in a wide range of teaching activities including supervision of residents, fellows and medical students, formal didactic activities including grand rounds, basic science lectures, conferences, national presentations, and other teaching and consulting lectures throughout the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, the City of Cincinnati, and other institutions.
