Academic emergency medicine (EM) education faculty comprise 43% of core faculty. Many programs lack diverse education leadership roles and research expertise, impacting faculty development and education scholarship.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Faculty Development
- Academic Medicine
Background:
- Growing need for improved quality in education studies within academic medicine.
- Understanding the emergency medicine (EM) educator workforce is vital for policy development and promoting education scholarship.
- This study aims to characterize the current academic EM educator workforce model.
Purpose of the Study:
- To illuminate the current workforce model for academic emergency medicine (EM) educators.
- To identify the composition and roles within the EM educator workforce.
- To inform strategies for supporting EM educators and advancing education scholarship.
Main Methods:
- Online survey distributed to program leadership at EM training programs.
- Survey included multiple-choice, completion, and free-response questions.
- Descriptive statistics were calculated and reported for collected data.
Main Results:
- 112 EM programs participated in the survey.
- Education faculty constitute approximately 43% of the core faculty workforce.
- Significant variation exists in dedicated education leadership roles and administrative support, with many departments lacking education research expertise.
Conclusions:
- Academic EM departments have a substantial education faculty presence but often lack a full spectrum of leadership roles.
- Educational faculty frequently divide time across multiple academic responsibilities.
- Gaps in dedicated education leadership and research expertise necessitate targeted interventions to foster education scholarship in EM.
