Area of Science:

Academic Medicine
Surgical Practice Management

Background:

Recruitment and retention of academic surgeons face significant challenges.
High clinical loads and decreased academic support lead to early departures (within 2 years).

Purpose of the Study:

To explore creative strategies for managing and retaining top talent in academic surgical practices.
To identify factors contributing to the gap between recruits' expectations and their experiences.

Main Methods:

A scoping review of scholarly databases and business literature was conducted.
The cumulative experience of the authors was integrated into the analysis.

Main Results:

New academic recruits experience a disconnect between expectations and reality.
Financial pressures force academic departments to prioritize clinical revenue over academic missions.
Compensation models increasingly emphasize clinical productivity, often at the expense of academic goals.
Limited practice-building support and outdated promotion criteria exacerbate challenges.
Academic practices are becoming competitive and less collaborative, contributing to faculty attrition.

Conclusions:

Redesigning retention strategies is crucial to prevent the exodus of new recruits.
Aligning individual, team, and organizational goals is vital for successful retention.
Developing robust practice-building tools and fair compensation models that include academic metrics are essential.
Creative reward systems are needed to enhance faculty experience and ensure the growth of academic surgery.
