<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">FTE for face-to-face clinical supervision</span> (includes time spent in making assignments, pre- and post-conferences, evaluation, planning, etc.)</p>
<p style="max-width:70em !important;"></p>
<p style="max-width:70em !important;">FTE are assigned based on credit hours. Thus, a 3 credit hour direct clinical supervision course would receive 30% or .3 FTE. A single section is considered to be a group of 8-10 students. Simulations are considered direct clinical supervision courses.</p>
 
<!-- *************************************** -->
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">FTE for Dedicated Education Unit supervision</span></p>
<p style="max-width:70em !important;">FTE’s are assigned at 10% per credit hour for DEU supervision.  As an example, a 3 credit clinical course would receive 30% faculty effort allocation for supervision of 14-16 students.</p>
 
<!-- *************************************** -->
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">FTE for preceptored clinical supervision </span> (includes organizing, coordinating, mentoring, scheduling, evaluation, planning the clinical, and OSCEs):</p>
<p style="max-width:70em !important;">FTE are assigned slightly less than face-to-face clinical supervision, with 3 credits of precepted clinical supervision equal to .10 FTE.  A clinical coordinator for a course with multiple sections may receive .10 FTE.</p>
<p style="max-width:70em !important;">For APRN clinical credit assignments, faculty effort is calculated based on 6 students per clinical group. The faculty-student ratio will not normally exceed 1:6 for precepted clinical experiences, except in situations where faculty feel a slightly higher ratio is justified, such as for more advanced students where a 1:8 ratio might be considered.</p>

<p style="max-width:70em !important;"></p>
<p style="max-width:70em !important;">Faculty at the CON are expected to be involved in service-related activities that benefit the CON, UNMC, or the profession. Faculty members are allocated 10-20% effort for service. An exception to this policy is made for new Assistant Professors who are research productive.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">PRACTICE WORKLOAD CALCULATIONS</span></p>
<p style="max-width:70em !important;"></p>
<p style="max-width:70em !important;">Practice is considered with professional service in the Promotion and Tenure Guidelines. The CON supports all types of faculty practice for purposes of teaching, maintaining credentialing and scholarship. The most desired models of practice are CON reimbursed practice, as this provides the opportunity for practice time to contribute to the resources of the CON and engages faculty fully in practices addressing the full range of reimbursement and billing issues.  A faculty practice of one day per week is allocated 20% time per semester.  If additional time is needed for documentation, on-call, or care coordination, that is included in the negotiations with the practice agency so the time is reimbursed.  Faculty have the privilege of engaging in outside work up to 16 hours per month according to the Board of Regents bylaws (Outside Employment Policy #1049).  Such work is outside the faculty effort allocation guidelines, but per university policy, it is expected that faculty members complete the Outside Employment Form and submit it to their supervisor.</p>
