<p style="margin-bottom:15px; margin-left:3em;max-width:70em !important;">Clinical faculty contribute to the missions of the College and the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). This document describes examples of accomplishments in teaching, professional service, and scholarly activity that merit clinical track promotion.</p>

<li><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Teaching</span> - This area focuses on teaching excellence, leadership, interprofessional educational activities, and innovation in the classroom and clinical setting.</li>

<li><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Professional Service</span> - This area focuses on service, clinical practice and policy contributions to the University and professional organizations, health care organizations and community outreach; as well as activities associated with faculty practice endeavors.</li>

<li><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Scholarly Activity</span> - Scholarship in nursing can be defined as those activities that systematically advance the teaching, research, and practice of nursing through rigorous inquiry that 1) is significant to the profession, 2) is creative, 3) can be documented, 4) can be replicated or elaborated, and can be peer reviewed through various methods (AACN, 1999). See http://www.aacn.nche.edu/publications/position/defining-scholarship for examples of the major areas of scholarship. Scholarly dissemination includes not only peer-reviewed conferences and journals but also non-peer reviewed conferences, meetings, and media. Other forms of dissemination include legislative testimony, policy briefs, and consultations.</li>
