Issues affecting faculty development in academic psychiatry departments have taken on a special urgency as a result of declining financial support from government sources and the emerging consequences of this country's fast-evolving health care system. Junior faculty need usable information on how to succeed in academia. Available information from the senior administration ("top-dawn") often lacks the immediacy and accessibility of grassroots ("bottom-up") strategies that more experienced junior colleagues have discovered. Over the past 2 years, the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Texas-Houston Health Science Center has focused attention on codifying these grassroots efforts and on integrating them with formal departmental initiatives. The authors describe how general recommendations formulated by departmental planning committees and a Continuous Quality Improvement Team on faculty development were developed into a formal, concrete program f or career development. (Academic Psychiatry 1997; 21:107-115).
由于政府资金支持的减少以及本国快速发展的医疗保健系统所带来的影响，学术精神病学系的教员发展问题变得尤为紧迫。青年教员需要了解如何在学术界取得成功的实用信息。来自高级管理层的可用信息（“自上而下”）往往缺乏基层（“自下而上”）策略的及时性和可及性，而更有经验的年轻同事已经发现了这些策略。在过去的两年中，德克萨斯大学休斯顿健康科学中心的精神病学系专注于编纂这些基层工作，并将其与正式的部门倡议相结合。作者描述了如何将系规划委员会和连续质量改进小组制定的关于教员发展的一般建议转化为正式的、具体的职业发展方案。（《学术精神病学》1997；21:107-115）。
