Department of Medicine Weekly Roundup - August 1 - WebCV Decommissioning and Transition Plan
Dear Department of Medicine colleagues,
In May of this year, we informed you that our department would be decommissioning WebCV and transitioning to Elements. This decision is based on several factors including lack of improvement, the need to allocate resources more effectively and the availability of the new university tri-campus application called Elements.
In preparation for the decommissioning of WebCV, MedIT has shared with us the following transition plan:
WebCV CV Data Entry Deadline
We will no longer accept CVs for entry into WebCV from those not going forward for promotion/CFAR next year after July 31, 2024. We will ensure that all data entry work on our queue is completed on or before September 30, 2024.
WebCV will continue to be used for the current promotions cycle (submitting in April 2025), so if you are considering going forward for promotion in this cycle, you are encouraged to submit your CV for entry into WebCV as soon as possible. There will be a second cut off date of October 15, 2024 for this group, with the plan of decommissioning WebCV in April 2025 after these faculty have extracted the data they need.
Curation support for Elements is ongoing. If you have yet to provide your consent and CV to the curation team to populate your profile, please complete this form. Alternatively, feel free to start engaging with Elements directly.
Website Accessibility
WebCV will continue to be available until April 2025 but support will be limited. Therefore, we recommend faculty members download their WebCV reports (CV, TER, AAR, CPA, etc.) prior to April 2025. Faculty can update, save and use said reports for promotion or review assessment submissions if they are up for this year.
Teaching Data Migration
On June 30, 2024, we exported and migrated the teaching data from WebCV to Elements. The Teaching and Supervision section on Elements has been hidden on DoM Faculty profiles and will be released shortly, once the ingested teaching data from WebCV has been reviewed.
We appreciate your cooperation during this transition and will provide more information as it becomes available.
