    Area of Science:

    • Family Medicine
    • Academic Medicine
    • Medical Research

    Background:

    • The perceived lack of robust research programs in academic family medicine departments may impact the specialty's standing.
    • Faculty trained in research may not be dedicating sufficient time to scholarly activities within their departments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey the research experiences of graduates from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Family Practice Academic Fellowship Programs.
    • To identify barriers and facilitators to research productivity in academic family medicine.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was administered to 42 graduates of Family Practice Academic Fellowship Programs with at least one year of faculty experience.
    • Data collected focused on time allocation for research, perceived administrative burdens, and availability of research support.

    Main Results:

    • The majority of surveyed fellows spend 20% or less of their time on research.
    • Administrative duties are widely perceived as a significant impediment to research.
    • Few fellows have dedicated research time or departmental research funds, yet publication rates are approximately one paper per fellow annually.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite significant systemic barriers, academic family medicine faculty demonstrate a capacity for research productivity.
    • Strategies to enhance the research environment are crucial for fostering more productive and sustainable research activities.
