Dr. Somnath Mookherjee (Director, CLIME; Medicine) walks through the 2025 UW School of Medicine Teaching Portfolio Guidelines for faculty. Designed to showcase educational accomplishments in a scholarly, impactful way, these guidelines replace the former Executive Summary of Teaching. By condensing the format into a maximum of six pages (a title page and up to five 1-page Focused Contribution Summaries), the new guidelines simplify the process for both faculty and review committees. Dr. Mookherjee outlines the six distinct areas of contribution and explains how to use structured Focused Contribution Summaries to tell your unique story as an educator. No matter your specialty, these updated guidelines will help you effectively highlight your teaching accomplishments for your next promotion.
