Faculty Resources

The Division has a faculty development series that is supported by our Director of Faculty Development. You may view session recordings, handouts, and other resoureces via our shared Box folder.

The ZSFG Division of Hospital Medicine builds in ~20% of protected academic time by maintaining a per clinical shift rate that requires each faculty member to complete ~20% clinical shifts than providers in the community setting. For example, a ZSFG DHM faculty member at 100% clinical effort would need to complete 147 day shifts in an academic year as compared to a community provider at 100% clinical effort that would be required to complete 180 day shifts.

This means that our faculty have 20% less clinical shifts, which yeilds protected academic time each academic year.

The Department of Medicine, like all academic departments, operates under the policy and procedures of the Academic Personnel Manual. To learn more about departmental guidelines on promotions, visit the website for full details.

During a DHM Well-Being workshop, the collective faculty generated a list of useful Life Hacks. 

The purpose of these resources is to outline good assessment practices and strategies to avoid harmful bias in assessments of students’ clinical performance. The Equity in Assessment checklist and Resources page includes the following:

• Equity in Assessment checklist
• Best practices for written assessments and example of high quality narrative assessments
• List of strategies to avoid stereotypes and bias in assessment of learner performance
• Links to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training opportunities

Review the SOM guidance on outside professional activities when planning to engage in activities outside of the University. Unsure of how to proceed, you can submit a review of the outside activity for DOM to review.

Attached is a useful sheet on sponsorship. We’re all involved in sponsorship from both perspectives: sponsoring, and being sponsored.  The sheet has useful advice on both aspects. It also clarifies the common aspects and the distinctions between mentorship and sponsorship.
