These versions of the packet templates will be phased out effective with all promotions or appointments to become effective after September 1, 2024. Please note, they have been modified to include new requirements pertaining to mentoring and your contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

  • CV Template 2022 – Note 1) the inclusion of the mandatory section on DEI (#21) and 2) the requirement that you underline the names of your mentees in the Abstract Presentations section (#27) and the Bibliography (#31).
  • Teaching Portfolio Template 2022 – Note the inclusion of your trainees’ awards, grants, and number of papers during the time in which you mentored them (#2.i.iii, #3.d., and #4.d.).
