Typically, what is a clinician-teacher’s role in an academic setting?

Typically, a clinician-teacher is expected to teach and see patients. Some institutions expect some research or scholarly productivity as part of the overall effort.

The exact amount of time devoted to each varies with the institution, but generally the need for patient care outweighs the need for teachers and researchers. Nevertheless, you need to determine how you wish to spend your time and negotiate these expectations. If research or scholarly activity is part of the job description, define precisely what type of work is expected, what type of productivity measures will be applied, and what amount of time (if any) is set-aside for these activities.
