Pediatric departments increasingly employ PhD faculty, primarily for research. While PhDs face slower promotion initially, they achieve higher tenure rates at full professor compared to MD faculty.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Academic Pediatrics
  • Faculty Development

Background:

  • Growing presence of PhD holders in academic pediatric departments.
  • Understanding the roles and career trajectories of PhD faculty in pediatrics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey the demographic and academic characteristics of PhD faculty in pediatric departments.
  • To compare the career progression and promotion criteria of PhD versus MD faculty.

Main Methods:

  • Survey distributed to members of the Association of Medical School Pediatric Department Chairmen.
  • Analysis of response data regarding faculty demographics, responsibilities, and promotion.

Main Results:

  • 14.5% of pediatric faculty hold PhDs, with 3.6% holding dual PhD/MD degrees.
