| Title | Metrics for Clinical Faculty Performance and Engagement |
| Background/Purpose | Recognizing faculty contributions to our undergraduate medical education program at the University of Calgary has been historically challenging, especially outside of scheduled classroom teaching. Many faculty participate in clinical teaching, committees, and make other contributions that are still key to the delivery of our program. Given the challenges of fully representing one's educational contributions within an academic merit system traditionally dominated by research related metrics, our faculty need support to describe and measure their teaching contributions, especially those who work outside of structured classroom time. |
| Methods | Beginning in 2016 we centralized teaching metrics and evaluations into an annual performance record. Subsequently we added metrics from a variety of resources: form completion, logbook observations, examiner activities, career discussions, admissions file review and interviews, and committee attendance. Data is sent to the department head as well as the faculty. |
| Results | At the Cumming School of Medicine (CSM), 2714 faculty and residents received Faculty Performance Records from the MD program in 2021/2022 reporting period. Data for 2022 included: 670 completed summative ITERs, 912 observed logbook activities, 356 had career discussions, 103 supported admissions processes. Faculty utilize these letters for promotion committee meetings regularly and have access to these metrics and classroom teaching time online. |
| Discussion | Over the past 6 years we have endeavored to recognize the multi-dimensional contributions of CSM faculty in clinical settings, classrooms, and committees. Assembling these letters annually rather than as course level "Thank You" letters has also increased staff efficiency and provided useful data for faculty's annual academic reviews. |
