Nonphysician educators comprise a significant portion of the faculty in family medicine, yet little is actually known about this cohort of educators. This survey identifies and examines the population of nonphysician faculty.
a questionnaire was sent to 859 nonphysician faculty teaching full time in 113 family medicine departments and 377 family medicine residency programs. The questionnaire was used to determine the composition, characteristics, and levels of job satisfaction of respondents. The responses of this nonphysician cohort were compared to responses of physician faculty who participated in a previous study.
Nonphysician faculty were more satisfied with the jobs they performed than they were with the recognition and rewards they received. Satisfaction levels of nonphysicians were significantly greater than their physician colleagues in the areas of research, clinical work, and administration. Physicians were significantly more satisfied than nonphysicians only in response to questions relating to teaching.
Further research is needed to determine how to optimally integrate nonphysicians into family medicine education and fully utilize their expertise.
非医师教育工作者在家庭医学教师队伍中占相当大的比例，但实际上对这一群体的教育工作者了解甚少。本次调查旨在识别并研究非医师教师群体。
向113个家庭医学系和377个家庭医学住院医师培训项目中全职授课的859名非医师教师发放问卷。该问卷用于确定受访者的构成、特征及工作满意度水平。将这一非医师群体的回答与参与此前一项研究的医师教师的回答进行比较。
非医师教师对自己所从事的工作比对所获得的认可和奖励更满意。在研究、临床工作和管理领域，非医师的满意度水平显著高于他们的医师同事。仅在回答与教学相关的问题时，医师的满意度显著高于非医师。
需要进一步开展研究，以确定如何将非医师最佳地融入家庭医学教育并充分利用他们的专业知识。
