In 1998, the University of California San Diego (UCSD) was selected as one of four National Centers of Leadership in Academic Medicine (NCLAM) to develop a structured mentoring program for junior faculty.
Participants were surveyed at the beginning and end of the seven-month program, and one-four years after. The institution provided financial information. Four primary outcomes associated with participation in NCLAM were assessed: whether participants stayed at UCSD, whether they stayed in academic medicine, improved confidence in skills, and cost-effectiveness.
Among 67 participants, 85% remained at UCSD and 93% in academic medicine. Their confidence in skills needed for academic success improved: 53% personal leadership, 19% research, 33% teaching, and 76% administration. Given improved retention rates, savings in recruitment was greater than cost of the program.
Structured mentoring can be a cost-effective way to improve skills needed for academic success and retention in academic medicine.
1998年,加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD)被选为四个学术医学领导力国家中心(NCLAM)之一,以制定针对初级教员的结构化指导计划。
在为期七个月的计划开始和结束时,以及之后一到四年对参与者进行了调查。该机构提供了财务信息。评估了与参与NCLAM相关的四个主要结果:参与者是否留在UCSD、是否留在学术医学领域、技能信心的提高以及成本效益。
在67名参与者中,85%留在了UCSD,93%留在了学术医学领域。他们对学术成功所需技能的信心有所提高:个人领导力提高了53%,研究能力提高了19%,教学能力提高了33%,管理能力提高了76%。鉴于留用率提高,招聘节省的费用超过了该计划的成本。
结构化指导可能是一种具有成本效益的方式,可提高学术成功所需的技能,并提高在学术医学领域的留用率。
