4. Tenure Clock • Tenure clock starts with first appointment at Assistant Professor rank regardless of track

5. Pathways Apply To… • Clinical Departments • MDs • PhDs • MD/PhDs • Other terminal degree holders in the clinical departments • (Basic Science Departments have a different process. See the following web links: medschool.duke.edu>faculty&staff>School of Medicine APT>Basic Sciences-APT)

7. Path 1: Clinician / Administrator/ Educator • Designed to reward physicians who see patients (typically ≥75%) and do some research, administration, or education • Primary focus: publications & reputation • Referral patterns • National committees & professional organizations • Review articles, case reports, chapters* *For all tracks, publications from any stage of your career count.

8. Path 1: Clinician / Administrator/ Educator • Also appropriate for faculty who spend the majority of their time on a combination of clinical care, administration, and/or teaching • Similar to Track 4, but difference is stronger emphasis on scholarly activity in Track 1

9. Path 1 • Grants • Clinical volumes • Teaching or administrative accomplishments • Tenure clock applies: must initiate tenure review by the start of 10th year • Earlier review okay

10. Path 2: Clinician / Researcher • Designed to reward physicians who see patients and do ~50% research • Natural home for Clinical Investigators • Primary focus: publications & reputation • Referral patterns • National committees & professional organizations • Manuscripts – higher standard than Path 1

11. Path 2 • Grants • Clinical volumes – lower standard than Pathway 1 • Teaching or administrative accomplishments count but are secondary to research and clinical care expectations

12. Path 3: Primary Research • Designed for faculty who typically do ≥75% research • Natural home for Lab-focused MDs and PhDs • Primary focus: publications & reputation • History of funding • Publications • Nationally significant research

13. Path 3 • Grants – Peer reviewed (NIH, Selective foundations) • Publications – expect to be placed in major journals • Teaching or administrative accomplishments count but are secondary to research objectives

14. Path 4: Clinician • Designed for faculty who typically do ≥75% clinical work • As with Track 1, combinations of clinical work, teaching and administration also fit here • Natural home for pure clinicians • Primary focus: clinical care • Referral patterns • National committees & professional organizations - reputation

15. Path 4 • No tenure clock • But remember, if you later switch to track 1, your tenure clock started on date of first appointment to Assistant Professor in the non-tenure track • Can only transfer to Tracks 1-3 during the first ten years in Path 4

16. Path 4 • Grants – very secondary • Publications – much less critical, although they enhance clinical reputation

17. Path 5: Researcher • Designed for faculty who typically do ≥80% research • Natural home for PhDs in clinical departments • Primary focus: publications & funding • Publications – high level journals • Consistent funding – annual appointments

18. Path 5 • Teaching or administrative accomplishments count but are are secondary to research objectives • Most teaching in the context of the research work
