Trends in Academic Radiology Faculty Promotion in US Medical Schools
Background
Faculty promotion is important for retention in academic medicine and has implications for diversity.
Purpose
We aimed to assess faculty promotion trends in academic radiology in US medical schools over time and assess variations based on gender and race or ethnicity.
Materials and methods
Using the Association of American Medical Colleges faculty roster, full-time faculty appointed between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2009 (primary cohort), were followed for 14 years till January 1, 2024. Promotion rates and average time to promotion were compared by faculty track, gender, and race or ethnicity using bivariate analyses. Recent trends in promotions were assessed by comparing 7-year promotion end points between the primary cohort and a secondary cohort appointed between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2016.
Results
The primary cohort included 2,497 faculty (182 instructors, 1,589 assistant professors, and 726 associate professors) from academic radiology departments, appointed between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2009. Clinical educator-track faculty had a marginally higher promotion rate (39.6% versus 36.4%, P = .116) but a significantly longer time to promotion (8.25 versus 7.4 years, P < .0001) versus those on traditional track. For clinical educator-track faculty, promotion rates over 14 years tended to be greater for women (42.3%) than men (38.3%, P = .12) across all ranks. The average time to promotion was significantly greater for women (8.9 years) assistant professors compared with men (8.2 years) (mean difference of 0.65 years, P = .013). For the more recent faculty cohort, rates of promotion over a 7-year period were higher (26% versus 15% for assistant professors, P < .001), and average time to promotion was shorter (5.7 versus 6.0 years for assistant professors, P = .002) across all ranks and for both men and women.
Conclusion
Over time, promotion rates in US academic radiology departments have gone up and time to promotion has declined. Promotion rates for men and women are similar.
期刊介绍:
The official journal of the American College of Radiology, JACR informs its readers of timely, pertinent, and important topics affecting the practice of diagnostic radiologists, interventional radiologists, medical physicists, and radiation oncologists. In so doing, JACR improves their practices and helps optimize their role in the health care system. By providing a forum for informative, well-written articles on health policy, clinical practice, practice management, data science, and education, JACR engages readers in a dialogue that ultimately benefits patient care.
