Research – Mandatory Documentation Documentation of excellence in research includes: 1.
Publications - A list of the candidate's publications in appropriate peer-reviewed clinical journals must be provided. Quality of the research and publications is given greater weight than the quantity. A higher than average rate of citation of the candidate's publications by others can be a useful measure of the significance of the contributions. Another measure of ongoing productivity in many clinical disciplines is the regular publication of clinical reports. Senior authorship is given greater weight, as is evidence of the development of an ongoing, productive program of focused, clinical investigation. Case reports may be supportive evidence of clinical scholarship, but by themselves, are not sufficient to provide documentation of a scholarly focus. Research – Supportive Documentation 1. Involvement in the administrative aspects of research such as organization and direction of research programs. Programs which provide funding from external sources are commendable. 2. Participation as a co-investigator or consultant on major grants with other principal investigators is encouraged. 3. Local or regional grant support for independent investigative clinical studies. Contracts for clinical trials according to protocols of corporate sponsors are not equivalent to grants awarded for investigator initiated research or clinical trials but, are encouraged. Clinical Scholarship – Mandatory Documentation Clinical scholarship, service, and/or administration and expertise are documented by the following criteria: 1. A commitment to life-long learning through participation and pursuit of postgraduate activity- both as an instructor and as a student. 2. Local, regional, and national recognition of clinical expertise, including invitations for speaking at clinical seminars, courses, and symposia. Clinical Scholarship – Supportive Documentation 1. Leadership in local and national professional organizations adds support to the application. 2. Awards of merit received from relevant local or national organizations.
