as is evidence of the development of an ongoing, productive program of focused clinical investigation.

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. 3. Leadership in local and national professional organizations adds support to the application. 4. Participation on departmental, hospital, College, University, and national committees related to clinical care and service and/or administration. 5. A description of activities and accomplishments related to the administration of programs of clinical care and/or the organization of clinical service for more effective clinical care. The ability to organize a clinical service and/or administration which provides a setting for medical education and a data base for clinical research is a most laudable goal for the clinician educator. Ideally, a unique and effective clinical service is reported in an appropriate medical journal. Clinical Scholarship-Supportive Documentation 1. Awards of merit received from relevant local or national organizations.
