Academic faculty who devote most of their time to clinical work often struggle to engage in meaningful scholarly work. They may be disadvantaged by limited research training and limited time. Simply providing senior mentors and biostatistical support has limited effectiveness.
We aimed to increase productivity in scholarly work of hospitalists and internal medicine physicians by integrating an Academic Research Coach into a robust faculty development program.
This was a pre-post quality improvement evaluation.
This was conducted at the University of Washington in faculty across three academic-affiliated hospitals and 10 academic-affiliated clinics.
Participants were hospitalists and internists on faculty in the Division of General Internal Medicine at the University of Washington.
The coach was a 0.50 full time equivalent health services researcher with strong research methods, project implementation, and interpersonal skills. The coach consulted on research, quality improvement, and other scholarship.
We assessed the number of faculty supported, types of services provided, and numbers of grants, papers, and abstracts submitted and accepted.
The coach consulted with 49 general internal medicine faculty including 30 hospitalists who conducted 63 projects. The coach supported 13 publications, 11 abstracts, four grant submissions, and seven manuscript reviews. Forty-eight faculty in other departments benefited as co-authors.
Employing a dedicated health services researcher as part of a faculty development program is an effective way to engage clinically oriented faculty in meaningful scholarship. Key aspects of the program included an accessible and knowledgeable coach and an ongoing marketing strategy.
将大部分时间用于临床工作的学术教师往往难以进行有意义的学术工作。他们可能受到有限的研究培训和有限的时间的限制。仅仅提供高级导师和生物统计学支持效果有限。
通过将学术研究教练整合到强大的教师发展计划中，提高医院医生和内科医生在学术工作中的生产力。
这是一项前后质量改进评估。
这项研究在华盛顿大学的三家学术附属医院和 10 家学术附属医院的内科医生中进行。
参与者是华盛顿大学普通内科分部的医院医生和内科医生。
教练是一名全职健康服务研究员，具有强大的研究方法、项目实施和人际交往能力。教练就研究、质量改进和其他学术工作提供咨询。
我们评估了支持的教师人数、提供的服务类型以及提交和接受的赠款、论文和摘要的数量。
教练与包括 30 名医院医生在内的 49 名普通内科教师进行了咨询，开展了 63 个项目。教练支持了 13 篇出版物、11 个摘要、4 项赠款申请和 7 项手稿审查。其他部门的 48 名教师作为合著者从中受益。
在教师发展计划中聘请专门的卫生服务研究人员是使以临床为导向的教师参与有意义的学术工作的有效方法。该计划的关键方面包括一位易于联系且知识渊博的教练和一项持续的营销战略。
