Behavioral scientists in family medicine, often from non-medical fields, prioritize consultation and teaching. Their job satisfaction and inclusion increase with experience, with one-on-one teaching being most common.

Area of Science:

  • Family Medicine Research
  • Behavioral Science in Medical Education

Background:

  • Historically, family medicine behavioral scientists were primarily physicians.
  • Current trends indicate a shift, with most behavioral scientists now entering from non-medical disciplines.
  • Limited understanding exists regarding their workplace perceptions, common roles, and teaching methods, especially concerning experience levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To gather demographic information on behavioral scientists in family medicine.
  • To evaluate their perceptions of the work environment.
  • To determine the frequency of specific roles and teaching approaches across experience levels.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to 384 family practice residencies.
  • Data collected included demographics, work environment perceptions, and frequency of role/teaching approach utilization.

  • Analysis compared these variables across different experience groups.

    • Main Results:

    • A 56% response rate was achieved, with 214 programs responding.
    • Consultation and teaching were the most emphasized roles, consistent across experience levels.
    • One-on-one teaching was the most frequent modality; case-based teaching increased with experience.
    • Behavioral scientists reported strong faculty support and moderate resident support.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides insights into the time allocation and prevalent teaching methods of behavioral scientists in family medicine.
    • It examines the correlation between years of experience and adopted teaching strategies.
    • Findings suggest increased job longevity and a greater sense of belonging among contemporary behavioral scientists compared to earlier cohorts.
