Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

371
Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

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.

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...

Data Collection I01:30

Data Collection I

7.8K
Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Research
  • Family Medicine Training
  • Academic Medicine Surveys

Background:

  • The Council of Academic Family Medicine (CAFM) Educational Research Alliance (CERA) supports medical educational survey research.
  • CERA regularly surveys key stakeholders in academic family medicine, including residency program directors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the methodology and demographic characteristics of the Spring 2025 CERA Residency Program Director Survey.
  • To assess the generalizability of the survey results by comparing respondent demographics to the eligible population.

Main Methods:

  • Five research modules were selected through a peer-review process and included in the survey.
  • The survey targeted all identified family medicine residency program directors, with administration from April 22 to May 23, 2025.

Main Results:

  • A total of 321 out of 726 eligible program directors responded, achieving a 44.2% response rate.
  • Demographics of respondents (gender, race/ethnicity, underrepresentation in medicine) did not significantly differ from the potential respondent pool.

Conclusions:

  • The methodology and demographic results of the Spring 2025 CERA Residency Program Director Survey are presented.
  • The study demonstrates the generalizability of the survey findings, as respondent demographics were statistically similar to those of all eligible program directors.
