Your academic activities, since the initial date of appointment, should showcase innovation, evidence and impact at a local or provincial level.

Key notes from the video: • Meet with your chief/professional development representative at your site on an annual basis • Identify items to collect along the process • Book dedicated time to keep your CV up-to-date • Make this a priority • Connect with a mentor • Identify important records to keep • Take a look at your career around 3-5 years • GO FOR IT! • From day one – start tracking your academic activities (emails, schedules, teaching, hours, evaluations, workshops you have done, etc) • Create an electronic filing method to organize and file your work = start early! • Linkages – connect with successful faculty • Keep track of your residents • Seek advice on how to prepare your dossier
