This study assessed the impact of a Leadership Fellowship, sponsored by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and APA Foundation, on the careers of psychiatry residents and examined the influence of gender and year of Fellowship completion. This 2-year program for residents offered multiple opportunities to interact with professional leaders at various levels.
A retrospective online survey of alumni of the APA Leadership Fellowship, who had completed this Fellowship between 2003 and 2019, was conducted.
Out of the 93 psychiatrists who were sent the survey, 59 alumni responded (60.8% response rate). Most respondents had remained involved with organized psychiatry groups and 80% held leadership positions. Respondents reported high levels of satisfaction with the APA Fellowship experience, noting the importance of peer networking. Overall, male and female respondents were similar in their subsequent leadership positions and satisfaction with the survey. Similarly, Fellows who completed the Fellowship in 2003-2015 had responses about the experience that were largely similar to those in the 2016-2019 cohort that had not yet completed their residency.
A vast majority of alumni of the APA Leadership Fellowship had become leaders in their workplace or organized psychiatry groups. The leadership-focused career development programs for psychiatry trainees are important avenues to develop a diverse cohort of future leaders in psychiatry.
本研究评估了由美国精神病学协会（APA）和 APA 基金会赞助的领导力研究员对精神病住院医师职业的影响，并考察了性别和研究员完成奖学金年份的影响。该计划为住院医师提供了 2 年的机会，让他们与各级专业领导进行多次互动。
对 APA 领导力研究员的校友进行了回顾性在线调查，这些校友在 2003 年至 2019 年间完成了该奖学金。
在发送给 93 名精神病医生的调查中，有 59 名校友做出了回应（回应率为 60.8%）。大多数受访者一直参与有组织的精神病学团体，80%的人担任领导职务。受访者对 APA 研究员的经验表示高度满意，指出同伴网络的重要性。总体而言，男性和女性受访者在随后的领导职位和对调查的满意度方面相似。同样，2003-2015 年完成奖学金的研究员的反应与尚未完成住院医师培训的 2016-2019 年的研究员的反应大致相似。
APA 领导力研究员的绝大多数校友已经成为他们工作场所或有组织的精神病学团体的领导者。针对精神病学学员的以领导力为重点的职业发展计划是培养未来精神病学领域多元化领导者的重要途径。
