Documentation of the types of teaching activities in which the faculty member participates is required, including: • Number of hours per week of resident and medical student supervision • Documentation of attendance and participation at teaching conferences • Evidence of formal didactic activities such as lectures at institutional teaching conferences, departmental grand rounds and basic science lectures • Other teaching and consulting lectures throughout the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, the city of Cincinnati, and other institutions across the nation.
