Background:
The Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research Resident Scholar Program (RSP) supports academically promising anesthesiology residents to attend mentoring seminars at the American Society of Anesthesiologists annual meeting. The objective of this study was to describe the career paths of RSP participants.
Methods:
Prior RSP participants were surveyed regarding their academic productivity and their evaluation of the RSP experience. Univariate statistics were used to characterize the survey results.
Results:
A total of 882 RSP participants were surveyed. The response rate was 26%. Seventy-two percent of respondents had worked in an academic institution, and 45% (95% CI: 38%-51%) were currently at an academic institution, which is higher than the national average of 18% (P<0.001).
Conclusions:
This program may be a model for supporting the development of future academic anesthesiologists.
