Current Trends in Faculty Recruitment, Retention, Promotion & Tenure
This session focuses on the growing challenge of defining and rewarding scholarly practice-based teaching, research and service that involves the community. How the community-oriented and applied nature of public health scholarship is reconciled with the traditional structures of reward and recognition of public health faculty will be discussed. Speakers will present examples of self-assessment tools and approaches to illustrate the process of change within academic institutions that are seeking to advance practice-based teaching, research and service that has community engaged scholarship as its core.
Learning Objectives: 1. To learn about the challenges of receiving faculty credit and recognition for practice-based, community-engaged scholarship in teaching, research and service; 2. To discuss the value of public health practice within institutional guidelines and how it is reflected in faculty rewards systems; and, 3. To discuss the outcomes of the report from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's Commission on Community-Engaged Scholarship for the Health Professions; and, 4.To identify examples of institutional and indivudal approaches to strengthen faculty practice-based, community-engaged portfolios for promotion and tenure.
