Candidate Requirements for Submission of Three-Year Review

Three Year Review, 2012

You were appointed to the faculty of the Department of Medicine in 2009. Your appointment was probationary, with continuation after July 1, 2012 being dependent upon the outcome of a three-year review that will be undertaken by the Department of Medicine Three-Year Review Committee, which reports to me.

In anticipation of this review, please assemble the following material and deliver it to the Department of Medicine Office, Fraser Elliott Bldg. 3-805, 190 Elizabeth Street by Friday, March 16, 2012. Late submissions will not be considered.

  1. A personal cover letter that includes your major career focus to date, any major changes in your career focus over time, and your future career direction (i.e. what do you want to do in the next 5 years). Also note any career interruptions (e.g. maternity leave, illnesses) in this cover letter.

This letter should be a reflection of your career that provides a high level overview to the reviewers. Please do not simply summarize your CV or list all of the activities and accomplishments that are readily found in your CV. It would also be helpful to note mentor involvement (e.g. number of meetings) for the past 3 years.

Include a summary of your clinical work load with a description of your clinical commitments by academic year including the number of weeks attending for each type of clinic service (e.g. In-Patient Ward Service, In-Patient Consult Service, combined In-Patient Ward and Consult Service, Outpatient Clinics).

  • You must use WebCV format to submit your hard copy of your curriculum vitae 
  • Candidates must follow the Department of Medicine’s Curriculum Vitae Policy Statement and format as outlined on the Department's web site.  You do not need include the CV summary forms.

Some important aspects to be sure to adhere to:

  • Candidates should list peer reviewed grants and manuscripts separately from non-peer reviewed grants and manuscripts. For grants, candidates should clearly indicate their role (e.g. principal investigator/co-principal investigator/co-investigator) and their specific contribution on the grants (role in conceptualizing the study and developing the study methods, writing grant, conducting the study). For manuscripts, candidates should include their role (contributor, principal author, co-principal author, senior or most responsible author) and their specific contribution (role indesigning and carrying out the study, supervising students, analyzing the data, writing the first draft of the paper and revising subsequent drafts of the paper).
  • For industry funded grants and contracts (e.g. clinical trials) and NCIC cancer trials, candidates should indicate in detail their role (e.g. overall study PI/Co-PI vs. local site PI or site co-investigator) and their specific contributionrelated to theirrole in conceptualizing the study and developing the study methods (e.g. primary role in designing study, provided input to a study protocol developed by others, or no significant role in study design), ii) conducting the study (e.g. involved in the management of an international study, national coordinator, responsible for conducting study at candidate’s site) and iii) publishing results from the study (e.g. writing committee, principal author). The candidate should include whether they are chairing or participating as a member of study committees including the steering committee, publications committee, adjudications committee, or the data and safety monitoring committee (DSMB).

  • All other teaching material (e.g. teaching evaluations, teaching effectiveness scores, unsolicited letters from students and colleagues, etc.) should be inserted into your teaching dossier.  Candidates should include evaluations from lectures and presentations but do not include filler materials such as copies of their Power Point slide presentations, complete course notes or book chapters, e-mail communications with confidential information, copies of their Outlook calendars showing work schedules or meeting minutes.
