<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">The Clinical Promotion application includes a two page description of the evidence supporting your accomplishments in each of the three areas. This is where you must highlight your accomplishments to assist others reviewing your application to understand the significance of your contributions to the college, university, and profession. The narratives focus on the last 5-7 years, not your entire career. As you prepare your narrative be concise and state specifically your accomplishments and the impact you have in the areas of focus (teaching, scholarship, or professional service). </p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Prepare the narratives in chronological order to illustrate how one activity leads to the next so that any reviewer will be able to clearly see the sustained contributions or outstanding record. The following are trigger points for you to consider when developing your narratives according to the three areas of evidence. Use Appendix A2’s listing of accomplishments as guides that represent the level of achievement. Not all accomplishments are required but the application for Clinical Assistant and Associate rank must demonstrate a sustained record of excellence and for Professor there must be national recognition and outstanding achievements.</p>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Note: Information for developing a teaching portfolio is available and detailed on the UNMC Academic Services website: http://www.unmc.edu/academicservices. A teaching portfolio is not required, it is intended to help with documenting teaching activities that can be helpful for annual evaluations and in the development of the two-page narrative on teaching activities for Promotion and Tenure Committee review. The Teaching Portfolio is optional and is not submitted with promotion application materials.</li>
Faculty who have a major teaching role are encouraged to develop a more extensive Teaching Portfolio which can be used to help develop the teaching narrative.  In addition, faculty may want to consider including their Teaching Portfolio as a supplement for review by the P&T Review Committee separate from the required documentation.<br /><br />Information for developing a teaching portfolio is available and detailed on the UNMC Academic Services website: http://www.unmc.edu/academicservices</li>
