Abstract

Background

Academic hospital medicine faculty possess diverse interests and pursue a variety of career pathways. Faculty development programs are essential for career advancement; however, a lack of alignment between individual faculty needs and development activities can impede career development efforts. To our knowledge, there are no studies that have examined whether clusters of faculty exist with similar development needs, for which tailored faculty development “packages” can be offered.

Objective

To determine whether distinct clusters of faculty with shared development needs can be identified and to explore faculty-level factors associated with these clusters.

Method

We conducted a survey study among hospitalists at seven academic institutions from November 2023 to September 2024. We generated a comprehensive list of 33 potential faculty development topics and asked survey respondents to indicate whether each topic was important to them, choosing as many as applied. We used latent class analysis (LCA) to classify faculty into distinct clusters based on their selection of desired development topics.

Results

A total of 136 faculty (median age 38 years) participated in the study. LCA identified five distinct groups as the optimal solution: (1) Master clinician (29%), (2) medical education scholar (11%), (3) clinical investigator (24%), (4) educational leader (22%), and (5) operational leader (14%).

Conclusion

In a representative sample of academic hospitalists, we identified five distinct latent classes of faculty based on their preference for faculty development topics. These results can be leveraged to curate specific packages to optimally align faculty development offerings with diverse faculty interests and career trajectories.

确定为医院医学的不同职业轨迹量身定制的教师发展。

背景：学术医院医学教师拥有不同的兴趣和追求各种职业道路。教师发展计划对职业发展至关重要；然而，教师个人需求和发展活动之间缺乏一致性可能会阻碍职业发展努力。据我们所知，目前还没有研究调查是否存在具有类似发展需求的教师集群，可以为其提供量身定制的教师发展“套餐”。目的：确定是否可以识别具有共同发展需求的不同教师集群，并探索与这些集群相关的教师层面因素。方法：于2023年11月至2024年9月对7所院校住院医师进行调查研究。我们生成了一个包含33个潜在教师发展主题的综合列表，并要求调查受访者指出每个主题对他们是否重要，选择尽可能多的应用。我们使用潜在类分析（LCA）将教师根据他们对期望发展主题的选择划分为不同的集群。结果：共有136名教师（中位年龄38岁）参与研究。LCA确定了五个不同群体的最佳解决方案：(1)临床硕士（29%），(2)医学教育学者（11%），(3)临床研究者（24%），(4)教育领导者（22%）和(5)业务领导者（14%）。结论：在学术医院的代表性样本中，我们根据他们对教师发展主题的偏好确定了五个不同的潜在教师类别。这些结果可以用来策划特定的方案，以最佳地将教师发展产品与不同的教师兴趣和职业轨迹结合起来。
