Abstract

Objective: The last decade has seen an increase in the number of Pediatric Vice Chairs of Education (VCEs), yet their roles and resources remain unclear.

Methods: We distributed a survey to Pediatric VCEs in the United States in March 2023 that focused on roles, responsibilities, and resources, such as dedicated time. We used descriptive and inferential statistical methods for data analysis.

Results: Forty-four of 65 (68%) VCE's responded. Most had a written job description (64%), yet only 25% described their responsibilities as very clear. Most VCEs defined themselves as leaders in graduate medical education (64%) and educational research (59%). Fewer led faculty development (36%), curricular development (36%), continuing medical education (32%), or undergraduate medical education (UME; 34%). VCEs reported a mean of 0.25 (SD 0.22) full-time equivalent (FTE) protected time for their VCE role but believed they needed 0.36 FTE (SD 0.29; p<0.001). Dedicated time for the VCE role positively correlated with the number of categorical pediatric residents, UME leadership, and their perceived ability to make a positive difference. Respondenfts who were also residency program directors reported less dedicated time for their VCE role and were less likely to report an ability to make a positive difference. Over half of VCEs had not been offered role specific professional development.

Conclusions: The roles and responsibilities of VCEs vary between institutions. To enhance the effectiveness of VCEs an increase in dedicated time, resources, and professional development are important.

愿景、价值观与恶习；儿科学教育副主席的角色、责任和资源。

目的：在过去的十年中，儿科教育副主席（VCEs）的数量有所增加，但他们的角色和资源仍不清楚。方法：我们于2023年3月向美国的儿科vce分发了一项调查，重点关注角色、责任和资源，如专用时间。我们使用描述性和推断性统计方法进行数据分析。结果：65例VCE患者中有44例（68%）有反应。大多数人都有书面的职位描述（64%），但只有25%的人将自己的职责描述得非常清楚。大多数vce将自己定义为研究生医学教育（64%）和教育研究（59%）的领导者。较少的人领导教师发展（36%）、课程发展（36%）、继续医学教育（32%）或本科医学教育(UME；34%)。VCE报告的平均全职等效（FTE）保护时间为0.25 (SD 0.22)，但他们认为自己需要0.36 FTE (SD 0.29)；结论：志愿服务人员的角色和职责因院校而异。为了提高vce的有效性，增加专门的时间、资源和专业发展是很重要的。
