Medical schools need better minority faculty development programs. A comprehensive program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine successfully increased under-represented minority faculty by 32%.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Faculty Development
  • Diversity in Medicine

Background:

  • Medical schools face challenges in training and retaining minority faculty.
  • Existing faculty development programs may not adequately support trainees from undergraduate to junior faculty levels.
  • A comprehensive, multi-level approach is needed to address these disparities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a comprehensive minority faculty development program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
  • To evaluate the program's impact on increasing the number of under-represented minority faculty.
  • To highlight key components of a successful faculty development initiative.

Main Methods:

  • The program involved minority undergraduates, medical students (MD and MD-PhD), residents, fellows, and junior faculty.

  • Key components included undergraduate pre-medicine enrichment, medical student counseling and research development, and advanced training in research methods, mentoring, teaching, and scientific writing.
  • Administrative staff and research methodologists provided support across all departments.

    • Main Results:

    • The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine increased its under-represented minority faculty by 32% since 1993-94.
    • The program fostered an environment conducive to the professional growth and development of minority faculty.
    • Successful recruitment and retention strategies were implemented across multiple training levels.

    Conclusions:

    • Comprehensive, multi-level faculty development programs are effective in increasing minority faculty representation in medical schools.
    • Sustained institutional commitment and tailored support are crucial for the success of diversity initiatives.
    • The described program serves as a model for other institutions seeking to enhance faculty diversity.
