Summary
The 2024 CERA Department Chair Survey achieved a 50.92% response rate, with no demographic differences between participants and the overall population. This ensures reliable data for academic family medicine research.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education Research
- Academic Medicine
- Family Medicine
Background:
- The Council of Academic Family Medicine (CAFM) Educational Research Alliance (CERA) supports educational survey research in academic family medicine.
- CERA aims to produce rigorous medical education research and mentor new researchers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the methodology of the 2024 CERA Department Chair Survey.
- To outline the process of proposal selection, survey development, and participant sampling.
Main Methods:
- A competitive peer-review process selected five research proposals for inclusion.
- The survey targeted all U.S. and Canadian family medicine department chairs.
- Data collection occurred via Survey Monkey from August 13 to September 20, 2024.
Main Results:
- The survey achieved a 50.92% response rate, with 111 out of 218 potential participants responding.
- No significant demographic differences (race/ethnicity, gender, age, location) were observed between responders and the total population.
Conclusions:
- The 2024 CERA Department Chair Survey demonstrated an acceptable response rate.
- The demographic profile of survey responders accurately reflects the target population, ensuring data validity.

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Chair Conformation of Cyclohexane
14.2K
The chair conformation is the most stable form of cyclohexane due to the absence of angle and torsional strain. The absence of angle strain is a result of cyclohexane’s bond angle being very close to the ideal tetrahedral bond angle of 109.5° in its chair conformer. Similarly, the torsional strain is also absent owing to the perfectly staggered arrangement of bonds.
