  • 98% of programs have chief resident positions, often filled by appointment.
  • Key perceived duties include liaison, role modeling, scheduling, teamwork, and feedback.
  • Leadership and stress management were identified as crucial skills.
  • Concerns included time pressure, power abuse, stress, and workload.
  • Formal training was provided in only 25% of programs, and position descriptions in 46%.

    • Conclusions:

    • Physical medicine and rehabilitation chief residents are integral to residency programs.
    • There is a significant gap in formal training and structured position descriptions for chief residents.
    • Addressing training needs could enhance the effectiveness and support for chief residents.
