Characteristics of the successful researcher and implications for faculty development.

To understand better the role of faculty development in training family medicine researchers, the authors examined in a comprehensive literature review the characteristics of productive researchers, their training, and their work environment. Areas reviewed were faculty development and evaluation, career development, professional socialization, organizational development, and faculty vitality in higher education, medicine, and corporate research and development. Findings reveal that, besides prerequisite knowledge and skills in a research area, successful researchers have academic values and attitudes derived from specific socialization experiences. They also receive meaningful support from their organization, mentors, and peers.

Administrative skills for academy physicians.

To function effectively within the multifaceted environment of the academic medical center, academic physicians need to heighten their understanding of the economics of the health care system, and further develop their leadership and managerial skills. A literature base on organizational development and management education is now available, which addresses the unique nature of the professional organization, including academic medical centers. This article describes an administration development curriculum for academic physicians. Competency statements, instructional strategies, and references provide health care educators with a model for developing administrative skills programs for academic physicians and other health care professionals. The continuing success of the academic medical center as a responsive health care system may depend on the degree to which academic physicians and their colleagues in other fields gain sophistication in self-management and organizational administration. Health care educators can apply the competencies and instructional strategies offered in this article to administrative development programs for physicians and other health professionals in their institutions.

An advanced research seminar series for family medicine faculty members.

Due to the need to improve research skills and levels of research productivity among family physician faculty, the authors conducted a needs analysis, then designed, implemented, and evaluated a ten-week course entitled "An Advanced Research Seminar." The course goals were to enable faculty to draft a research proposal and outline a paper describing their study. Although the eight participants highly approved of course goals and level of difficulty, and showed significant cognitive gains in a self-report retrospective pre/post evaluation, few were able to achieve course goals. This paper discusses the discrepancy between self-reported ability and actual accomplishment, and the circumstances which can lead to inflated self-assessments. The importance of performance measures is discussed.
