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. |

LAY SUMMARY:

Dr. Josephson is an internist who subspecializes in kidney
diseases and then supersubspecializes in teaching about, caring for, studying
those patients who receive kidney transplants. She has created, developed and currently directs the UniversityÕs
successful accredited transplant fellowship. Her program incorporates
didactics, literature reviews, scholarly endeavors, and patient care to train
a select group of subspecialized nephrologists. Her administrative work primarily focuses on running the
fellowship, which aside from coordinating the multi-disciplinary group of
teachers also entails securing yearly funds. In addition she coordinates the yearly nephrology schedule
and nationally is the President of Women in Nephrology. Dr. Josephson has an active and busy clinical practice in which
she spends much of her time in the out patient clinic caring for and
evaluating patients with kidney transplants. She also evaluates the medical suitability of people who
would like to donate a kidney.
Most of her work on the in-patient wards is devoted to the transplant
patient, though in order to keep up her general nephrology skills she also
attends on the general nephrology consult service and the dialysis service. Her scholarly work examines select areas within the unique set
of medical complications that afflict transplant patients. She focuses on 3 areas: bone disease following
transplantation, a type of virus that causes inflammation called BK
nephropathy that is seen in immunosuppression persons, and pregnancy after
transplant. She is recognized
for this work having published on these areas and presented at both national
and international meetings. |
