Disclaimer:  The following information is drawn from materials prepared by candidates for promotion to full professor.  It is intended to illustrate activities and materials that might support promotion.  In using these materials, please note the following:

               *The Provost (and, in some cases, the President) are the University officers authorized to approve promotions.  All levels of review below these officers are advisory.

               *Only Departments are empowered to propose promotions, and the Divisional Dean is charged with transmitting such proposals to the Provost or returning them to the Department.

*The judgment of the Department, Dean, and Provost will therefore be critical to assessing qualification for promotion.

               *Materials considered by the Department, Dean, and Provost will also (and always) include confidential evaluations obtained from outside the University.  Materials considered by the Provost will include the confidential evaluations of the Dean and Department, and those considered by the Dean will include the confidential evaluations of the Department.

               *Thus, the following materials are ONLY PART of a complete proposal for promotion, whereas promotion is based on the ENTIRE proposal.   Therefore, it should not be assumed that a record comparable to that below will necessarily result in promotion, or that a record not comparable to that below will fail to result in promotion.  The Departmental Chair is likely to be the best source of advice as to whether promotion is feasible and, when it is not, what additional activity may result in qualification for promotion.

               *This document has been prepared as a tool for use by associate professors in the Division of the Biological Sciences.  Other individuals who may find it informative are Department Chairmen, Section Heads, Committee Chairmen, senior faculty and potential recruits.  Its intent is to help guide individuals and their departments as they think about promotion to Professor.  This document is not intended to list the elements that every promotion proposal will be expected to address.  The following information is presented for information purposes only and is not intended to create any contract or agreement, and its contents are subject to addition, deletion, and change without prior notice.

Name:

Brian Funaki, M.D.

 

 

Department:

Radiology

 

Present rank:

Associate Professor

 

Present track:

Clinical Educator

 

Proposed rank:

PROFESSOR

 

Proposed track:

CLINICIAN-EDUCATOR

DEPARTMENT: What is the candidate's field or specialization within medicine?

Interventional Radiology and Abdominal Diagnostic Imaging

LAY SUMMARY:

Clinical:   Candidate is expected to provide clinical service 70% of his effort.  This is accomplished by being scheduled for clinical activity four days/week during which time he can also perform clinical teaching to radiology residents and medical students assigned to the clinical services.

 

Education:  CandidateÕs major teaching responsibility is to train postgraduate radiology trainees, both radiology residents and interventional radiology fellows.  This is accomplished in large part by the daily mentoring on the clinical services.  Unlike most other clinical services, radiology education nationwide is based on a continual tutoring throughout the clinical work day.  In addition, candidate is expected to participate in the department noon conference lecture series attended by all radiology residents and medical students on radiology elective.

 

Administrative:  Candidate is the section chief of vascular/interventional radiology and is expected to devote 10% of his effort to 1) working with hospital technical staff to run the interventional radiology services, and 2) lead and mentor all radiology faculty in the interventional radiology section.

 

Scholarly Role:  Candidate is expected to see that the interventional radiology section completes published clinical reviews in the area of interventional radiology.
