Teaching includes, but is not limited to, classroom instruction. Other activities include course development and evaluation, supervision of clinical or scientific work, and conducting continuing education programs.
Research traditionally involves the generation of hypotheses or the empirical testing of hypotheses.
Description of rare, unusual, or clinically important cases may also be considered as scholarship when those descriptions result in new knowledge. May include administrative and committee service. One may achieve national recognition of one's educational accomplishments, research, service to one's profession, or by a unique clinical contribution. The primary author is usually identified by first authorship if the individual personally conducted the majority of work reported in a paper, or a subsequent or corresponding author when the bulk of the work was conducted under the mentorship of the individual.
