Despite the rapid growth of academic hospital medicine, scholarly productivity remains poorly characterized. In this cross-sectional study, distribution of academic rank and scholarly output of academic hospital medicine faculty are described. We extracted data for 1,554 hospitalists on faculty at the top 25 internal medicine residency programs. Only 11.7% of faculty had reached associate (9.0%) or full professor (2.7%). The median number of publications was 0.0 (interquartile range [IQR], 0.0-4.0), with 51.4% without a single publication. Faculty 6 to 10 years post residency had a median of 1.0 (IQR, 0.0-4.0) publication, with 46.8% of these faculty without a publication. Among men, 54.3% had published at least one manuscript, compared to 42.7% of women (P < .0001). Predictors of promotion included H-index, number of years post residency graduation, completion of chief residency, and graduation from a top 25 medical school. Promotion remains uncommon in academic hospital medicine, which may be partially due to low rates of scholarly productivity.
尽管学术性医院医学发展迅速,但学术产出能力仍未得到充分描述。在这项横断面研究中,描述了学术性医院医学教职人员的学术职称分布和学术产出情况。我们提取了排名前25的内科住院医师培训项目中1554名医院医生的数据。只有11.7%的教职人员达到了副教授(9.0%)或正教授(2.7%)级别。出版物数量的中位数为0.0(四分位间距[IQR],0.0 - 4.0),51.4%的人没有发表过任何出版物。完成住院医师培训6至10年的教职人员出版物数量中位数为1.0(IQR,0.0 - 4.0),其中46.8%的人没有发表过出版物。男性中有54.3%至少发表过一篇论文,而女性为42.7%(P < 0.0001)。晋升的预测因素包括H指数、完成住院医师培训后的年限、担任过总住院医师以及毕业于排名前25的医学院。在学术性医院医学领域,晋升仍然不常见,这可能部分归因于学术产出率较低。
