• Faculty of Medicine Governance, Appointment and Promotion Handbook
• Areas of Excellence / Significant Support Activities
• Faculty of Medicine CV Guidelines
  • Click here to schedule 1:1 CV consultation with HMS Office for Faculty Affairs
  • Click here to review schedule of CV workshops and promotion process presentations

• Chronologic (old to new).
• Items listed once only.
• Society committee work is listed under the society, NOT under committees, even if you are the committee chair.
• Teaching of medical students, residents and fellows: make sure you document 50 hours of interaction/per year. This can be listed under clinical supervisory and training responsibilities as “supervising in the reading room” with the time commitment (ex 8-5 pm, 3 days/week).
• If you have nothing applicable in a particular section (for example, no thesis) you delete the heading.
• Remove grids at the end.
• Clinical innovations/ educational innovations/ research innovations: this might be blank for instructors, but should have something under one category by the time you are thinking about Associate. This is where you explain how you have impacted your area in the hospital or in the field. What is listed here should correlate with which area of excellence you are choosing for your promotion track.
• Research investigation basically means a paper with a hypothesis. Reviews and ‘how I do it’ belong under “other peer reviewed”. Case reports have their own section, but are NOT highly valued by HMS.
• Abstracts: Only those presented within the past 3 years should be listed, UNLESS the abstract won an award, or there was an oral presentation by a colleague. Then the abstract can stay forever. If you gave the oral presentation, it gets listed as a national presentation with the notation “selected oral abstract” and it stays there forever. Once an abstract has been published as a paper, it gets removed regardless of how recently it was presented (unless it won an award or was presented orally).
• Narrative: 1 page or less for instructors and assistants, 1-2 for associates and full. Never over 2 pages.
• Describe your area of excellence, your reputation and the key accomplishments for which you are known. In general, assistant has a local reputation and presence, associate is known on the national stage, and full professors have international impact. Always include something about teaching efforts in the narrative.

The H index is short hand way of reporting how many times your work has been cited. When your original work is listed according to number of times cited (highest to lowest), your H index corresponds to whichever number paper on the list has been cited more than its rank. For example, if you have 25 papers in the literature, and number 14 has been cited 15 times (or any number over 14) and paper number 15 has been cited 14 times (or any number less than 15), your H index is 14. The web of science analysis described below is the preferred method for HMS.

• https://countway.harvard.edu/, choose Web of Science
• In “basic search”, put in your own name (last, first initial, middle initial) and chose field “author”
• If you have a more common name, use your entire first name and middle initial
• Web of Science will list the articles and citations
• If your name is still not unique, you may have to do the analysis by hand
• Sort by times cited (upper left)
• Choose: Create a citation report (upper right) – H index

Search Tips for Web of Science: https://clarivate.libguides.com/woscc/searchtips

Note: if you have an ORCID ID and have used it for all publications, you may search using that. Remember to include your ORCID ID on your CV, on the same line as “Report of Scholarship”.

Harvard Academy for Educators (https://meded.hms.harvard.edu/about-academy) is the place to start if you are thinking about doing research with medical students.

From their website:
The Academy is responsible for professional development of faculty who teach in the MD program. Its role is also to develop and support a community of leaders in education and a culture of excellence in teaching and learning, to foster the careers of educators in medicine and science, to provide programming to improve the skills of teachers, to stimulate and support the creation and implementation of innovative approaches to learning and assessment, and to support educational research and scholarship in medical and graduate education.

Several experts are employed part-time by BWH Radiology who can provide either ‘casual’ or ‘enduring’ advice and counsel to support your research. These include:

• Biostatistician
  Camden Bay, PhD - cpbay@bwh.harvard.edu
  Dr. Bay can provide advice and help on research study design and statistical analysis of results.
• IRB Assistance
  Courtney May - cemay@partners.org will put you in touch with Chinmayi Naik of CCI.
  Ms. May can provide advice and support for new or revised applications for IRB approval for your research involving human subjects.
• Animal Experimentation
  Srini Mukundan MD, PhD - smukundan@bwh.harvard.edu chairs the BWH animal experimentation oversight committee. He can provide advice and support for experimental protocols that involve animal imaging.
• Other Research Support Resources
  Please note that additional resources for researchers are also available through BWH Radiology, Brigham Radiology Institute (BRI) and the HMS Catalyst Program. Access to these resources is managed via Dr. Clare Tempany, BWH Radiology Vice Chair for Research and our departmental research administration team.
