The authors examine the tenure of first-time Chairs in academic departments of psychiatry in order to stimulate discussion on extant workforce and leadership issues.
Data on tenure of Chairs in psychiatry and other nonsurgical specialties were derived from the longitudinal database of the Association of American Medical Colleges and evaluated for successive 4-year epochs between 1983 and 2002.
The 5-year retention rate of Chairs of academic departments of psychiatry is 68%, and the 10-year retention rate drops sharply to 39%, similar to other specialties.
Although most first-time Chairs of psychiatry last 5 years in their position, much fewer remain 10 years or longer. Therefore, efforts to promote succession planning for academic leadership in psychiatry are warranted.
作者研究了学术精神病学系第一任主席的任期，以激发对现有劳动力和领导问题的讨论。
精神病学和其他非外科专业主席任期的数据来自美国医学协会的纵向数据库，并在 1983 年至 2002 年期间的连续 4 年期间进行了评估。
学术精神病学系主席的 5 年保留率为 68%，10 年保留率急剧下降至 39%，与其他专业相似。
尽管大多数学术精神病学的第一任主席在其职位上任期为 5 年，但任期超过 10 年的人却很少。因此，有必要努力促进精神病学学术领导力的继任计划。
