5

Survey Question #1• Do you feel the revised CV will allow you to

better represent the full range of your academic accomplishments?– Probably will not – 2– Probably will – 18– Definitely will – 31– 26 comments

6

Survey Question #1• Do you feel the revised CV will allow you to

better represent the full range of your academic accomplishments?– Concern about the time needed to put the CV in

the new format• Overall, it is a rearrangement that will require us to spend

more effort accommodating the change. On balance, I think the effort required of us to implement that reshuffling of where we provide the information is not worth it.

– It's very difficult to figure out where to put QI projects/efforts/achievements. As this is such a hot topic in clinical medicine, it would be great to have a dedicated header for this.

7

Survey Question #1 continued

• Do you feel the revised CV will allow you to better represent the full range of your academic accomplishments?– Concerns that effort on grants fluctuates – Include precise dates for things like lectures– Allow significant publications to be other than

publications– Seventeen people like the inclusion of Educator

Portfolio sections– Two people like the proposed changes in

general

8

Survey Question #2• Will the proposed changes improve your

user experience with the Advance CV?– Don’t Know – 1– Probably will – 25– Definitely will – 25– 16 comments

9

Survey Question #2• Will the proposed changes improve your

user experience with the Advance CV?– It’s a cumbersome but very helpful tool.

Improving it, and allowing greater flexibility in output for custom CVs is highly appreciated.

– Sticky headers and navigation tools will make Chair Letter easier to write

– Make it more Apple than PC• Make a “standard” CV that is NOT UCSF-specific• Prompt for name change after Copy CV

– All of the changes will improve the process– Twelve additional positive comments

10

Survey Question #3• Will you use the revised Advance CV to

produce a CV for a purpose other than UCSF advancement?– Probably will not – 6– Don’t Know – 11– Probably will – 19– Definitely will – 14– 13 comments

11

Survey Question #3• Will you use the revised Advance CV to

produce a CV for a purpose other than UCSF advancement?– An NSF CV format would be an improvement– No other reason for a CV; Biosketches we do

separately and always will– Custom CV instructions seem rather complicated– I suspect I will use it for conference presentations

as an expansion of a speaker's bio

12


• Will you use the revised Advance CV to produce a CV for a purpose other than UCSF advancement?– Yes, especially if the creation of a customized cv

function works well– Automatically highlight changes since last action– Six additional positive comments

13

Survey Question #4• Provide feedback about any of the

proposed changes – Are there other changes which would improve

your experience?– Are there other changes which would

encourage you to use the Advance CV for other than UCSF academic review?

– 26 comments

14

Survey Question #4• Provide feedback about any of the

proposed changes– Rich text throughout– Don’t make us learn new functionality, please– Make it possible to have the CV public– Add a PMC ID field to the Bibliography Section– Fix formatting errors such as “amp&“– Access to the previous Chair letter– Somehow incorporate the editorial suggestions

from a mentor/proxy

15


• Provide feedback about any of the proposed changes– Ensure that the percent time devoted to activity

matches requirement for the person's series– The ability to copy entries within each category– Output format of current "export CV" is poor

• Unclear whether this has been addressed

– Editing is clunky with the done/save differences between sections

– It would be helpful to have a place to save dated narratives

16


• Provide feedback about any of the proposed changes– Automatically sort in chronological order– Spell check– Option for more or less granularity on dates– Browser issues, especially Firefox– Changes to text formats can cause a just-

entered citation to vanish – really frustrating– Automatically update references (link to Profiles)– Enable candidate to highlight parts of CV to view

17


• Provide feedback about any of the proposed changes– More automatic formatting for uniformity– Don’t limit “Leadership” to Chairs and Deans– Be careful asking for Effort Allocation:

• Public service as part of the 100% may not match up with grant efforts

• May be useful to record activities and hours per year– this is the weakest area of the CV for faculty

18

Design ideas• New feature suggestions

QI section More precise dates in teaching Modify the Significant Publications section Make a “standard” CV that is NOT UCSF-specific Prompt for name change after Copy CV Highlight changes since last CV Rich text throughout PMCID in a separate field Incorporate editorial suggestions from a mentor/proxy Save dated narratives Automatically synch from Profiles to CV Enable user to highlight parts of the CV Automatic formatting for uniformity

19

Design ideas• Suggestions outside of CV Workgroup scope

NSF CV format Make the CV public Access to previous Chair Letter

20

• Conceptual Design• Clarification:

– Does the candidate have the option to include BOTH the Narrative field and the EP structured section? Or is it one or the other?

• Include the EP Executive Summary as well as the EP Teaching section as the “structured” Teaching Summary

Educator Portfolio
