Faculty engaged in "QI work" often ask about whether it's valued as a vehicle for academic promotion. While heterogeneity is described among clinical departments, the Advance system for managing your academic CV does encourage faculty to describe their Quality Improvement activities (see screenshot below). It's a nice way to describe your leadership in quality/safety, outline specific QI projects and their impact, and share how it's a focus of your UCSF career. This important narrative can complement other places in the CV to share more traditional invited presentations, publications, and/or other forms of scholarship.
