Evaluation and Promotion of the Clinician-Educator

Kevorkian CG, Rintala DH, Hart KA: Evaluation and promotion of the clinician-educator: the faculty viewpoint. Am J Phys Med Rehabil 2001;80:47–55. Changes in healthcare management and reimbursement have contributed to alterations in the traditional culture of academic medical centers and the roles and responsibilities of their physician faculty, including clinician-educators. Questions concerning the appropriate evaluation methodology and criteria for promotion of such clinical faculty have been raised. In our survey of a large university-based physical medicine and rehabilitation department, only minimal differences were related to age, gender, and academic rank, and these are discussed.
