Career development here is "evidence-based"

That is, you will need to provide clear documentation that you have satisfied specific criteria to advance your career – in some cases subject to specific time limits. So: understand what documentation is required and when it is required, and go about providing it. It may involve scholarly achievement, educational effort, etc. Understand what applies in YOUR case.

In other words, it is possible to waste a great deal of time and resources [at best] and jeopardize your career [at worst] by preparing to meet criteria that don't apply. For example, if you are required to qualify for tenure, being the best doctor in the world or the best educator in the University will not be sufficient because tenure requires scholarship. If you are seeking reappointment but have done only clinical care (and nothing else), you will not be reappointed because you haven't satisfied the criteria.
