Area of Science:

  • Academic Medicine
  • Faculty Development
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • The University of Michigan's Department of Internal Medicine established distinct faculty career tracks in 1977.
  • These tracks aimed to clarify academic success goals for faculty.
  • Additional tracks were later introduced to adapt to evolving needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of implementing defined faculty career tracks.
  • To assess the impact of these tracks on faculty goals, training, and promotion.
  • To ensure alignment of faculty efforts with institutional objectives.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of specific faculty career tracks: physician-scientist, clinician-scholar, leadership, and full-time clinical.
  • Monitoring of faculty progress, concerns regarding comparability, and research productivity.
  • Assessment of tenure achievement across different tracks.

Main Results:

  • Initial concerns about track comparability and research productivity were resolved.
  • Tenure achievement was found to be similar between physician-scientist and clinician-scholar tracks.
  • Well-defined tracks facilitated goal alignment and protected research time for junior faculty.

Conclusions:

  • Defined faculty career tracks effectively align faculty talents and efforts with career goals.
  • These tracks support the academic development of physician-scientists and the career progression of clinicians.
  • The system provides a framework for promoting academic success and protecting research time.
