The members of the Association of Directors of Medical Student Education in Psychiatry (ADMSEP) had been last surveyed in 2010 to identify trends in medical student education in psychiatry, teaching methods, academic productivity, and administrative issues. With increasing requirements, ADMSEP members were surveyed in 2016 to characterize current expectations for and needs of medical student educators in psychiatry.
A 53-item survey was sent to members of ADMSEP (n=260) and to clerkship directors nationwide. The current survey expanded past surveys with questions about current issues in medical education. Questions included categorical and scaled items (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). All ADMSEP members were invited to complete the survey, but half of the questions were for those who identified as clerkship directors. The survey was sent electronically with two reminders.
The survey had a response rate of 42.7%. Half identified themselves as clerkship directors (49.5%), with an average of 6 years as both a clerkship director and member of ADMSEP. Respondents noted that being involved in education (mean 4.1) and ADMSEP (mean 4.2) were a benefit to their career, and also reported that they had adequate access to faculty resources. Respondents also reported concerns with access to educational research consultants and personnel management.
Results of the 2016 ADMSEP survey echoed previous membership surveys. However, training in personnel management, diminishing faculty resources, and compensation for education time emerged in this survey. Conducting a membership survey continues to provide beneficial information regarding the administration and education that occurs within psychiatry clerkship. Additionally, topics meriting further details have been identified that will be investigated in future membership surveys.
精神病学医学生教育主任协会（ADMSEP）的成员上次接受调查是在2010年，以确定精神病学医学生教育、教学方法、学术产出和管理问题的趋势。随着要求的不断提高，ADMSEP成员于2016年接受调查，以描述当前对精神病学医学生教育工作者的期望和需求。
向ADMSEP成员（n = 260）和全国见习主任发送了一份包含53个条目的调查问卷。本次调查在以往调查的基础上进行了扩展，增加了有关医学教育当前问题的问题。问题包括分类和量表项目（1 = 强烈不同意至5 = 强烈同意）。邀请所有ADMSEP成员完成调查，但一半问题是针对那些确定为见习主任的人。调查问卷通过电子邮件发送，并附有两次提醒。
调查的回复率为42.7%。一半的人将自己确定为见习主任（49.5%），平均担任见习主任和ADMSEP成员的时间为6年。受访者指出，参与教育（平均4.1）和ADMSEP（平均4.2）对他们的职业有益，还报告说他们有足够的教师资源。受访者还报告了对获得教育研究顾问和人事管理的担忧。
2016年ADMSEP调查的结果与之前的成员调查结果一致。然而，本次调查出现了人事管理培训、教师资源减少以及教育时间补偿等问题。开展成员调查继续提供有关精神病学见习期间管理和教育的有益信息。此外，已经确定了值得进一步详细探讨的主题，将在未来的成员调查中进行研究。
