To explore how family physicians understand the concept of academic leadership.
Case study.
Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto in Ontario.
Thirty family physician academic leaders.
Focus groups and interviews were conducted with family physicians from a large multisite urban university who were identified by peers as academic leaders at various career stages. Transcripts from the focus groups and interviews were anonymized and themes were analyzed and negotiated among 3 researchers.
Participants identified qualities of leadership among academic leaders that align with those identified in the current literature. Despite being identified by others as academic leaders, participants were reluctant to self-identify as such. Participants believed they had taken on early leadership roles by default rather than through planned career development.
This study affirms the need to define academic leadership explicitly, advance a culture that supports it, and nurture leaders at all levels with a variety of strategies.
探索家庭医生如何理解学术领导力的概念。
案例研究。
安大略省多伦多大学家庭与社区医学系。
30 名家庭医生学术领袖。
对来自大型多地点城市大学的家庭医生进行了焦点小组和访谈,这些医生是由同行认定的各个职业阶段的学术领袖。将焦点小组和访谈的文字记录匿名化,并由 3 位研究人员对主题进行分析和协商。
参与者确定了学术领袖的领导素质,这些素质与当前文献中确定的素质一致。尽管被他人认定为学术领袖,但参与者并不愿意自认为是这样的人。参与者认为,他们是通过默认而不是通过有计划的职业发展承担了早期的领导角色。
这项研究证实了明确界定学术领导力、推进支持这种领导力的文化以及通过各种策略培养各级领导者的必要性。
