“…Our curriculum has features similar to those of academic career programs in adult medicine and psychiatry ( 4 – 6 , 8 ), indicating that the content of ACD programs may be transferable. The results from our experience support limited data from existing career development programs.…”

“…Existing articles describe the need to improve management, teaching, and leadership skills ( 1 ) and that a lack of academic preparedness leads to a more stressful and challenging transition ( 2 , 3 ). The need to prepare for academia early in training is increasingly recognized, and various educational interventions such as workshops, retreats, and formal programs have been described ( 4 – 10 ). These articles suggest that fellows benefit from standardized educational interventions designed to prepare them for academic careers.…”

BackgroundThe experience of transitioning to an academic faculty position can be improved with standardized educational interventions. Although a number of such interventions have been described, few utilize an evaluation framework, describe a robust evaluation process, and address why their interventions were successful. In this article, the authors apply a logic model to describe their efforts to develop, implement, evaluate, and revise a comprehensive academic career development curriculum among pediatric subspecialty fellows. They describe inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes using quantitative data from fellow evaluations and qualitative data from faculty interviews.MethodsMethods are described under the input and activities sections. The curriculum started with collaboration among educational leadership and conducting a needs assessment. Using the needs assessment results and targeted learning objectives, we piloted the curriculum and then implemented the full curriculum 1 year later.ResultsResults are described under the outputs and outcomes sections. We present immediate, short-term, and 6-month evaluation data. Cumulative data over 3 years reveal that fellows consistently acquired knowledge relevant to transitioning and that they applied acquired knowledge to prepare for finding jobs and career advancement. The curriculum also benefits faculty instructors who gain a sense of reward by filling a critical knowledge gap and fostering fellows’ professional growth.ConclusionThe authors relate the success and effectiveness of the curriculum to principles of adult learning, and share lessons learned, including the importance of buy-in from junior and senior fellows and faculty, collaboration, and designating the time to teach and learn.

“…A few examples of successful programs are listed below, but the vast majority of universities do not offer such training or career development opportunities for fellows. The University of California at San Francisco retreat for first‐year medical subspecialty fellows includes such topics as the understanding of academic pathways and promotions, providing effective consultations, sharing bad news, and managing end‐of‐life care 14 . The Mayo Clinic learner‐centered academic career development curriculum for internal medicine residents was developed in response to identified interest and knowledge gaps in academic career development 15 .…”

Career development is rarely formalized in the curricula of geriatric fellowship programs, and the training of new generations of academic leaders is challenging in the 1 year of fellowship training. To effectively prepare fellows for academic leadership, the University of Rochester's Division of Geriatrics, in collaboration with the Warner School of Graduate Education, created a yearlong course to achieve excellence in teaching and career development during the 1-year geriatric fellowship. Nine interdisciplinary geriatric medicine, dentistry, and psychiatry fellows completed the course in its initial year (2005/06). As participants, fellows gained the knowledge and experience to successfully develop and implement educational initiatives in various formats. Fellows acquired teaching and leadership skills necessary to succeed as clinician-educators in an academic setting and to communicate effectively with patients, families, and colleagues. Fellows completed a series of individual and group education projects, including academic portfolio development, curriculum vitae revision, abstract submission and poster presentation at national meetings, lay lecture series development, and geriatric grand rounds presentation. One hundred percent of fellows reported that the course positively affected their career development, with six of nine fellows choosing academic careers. The course provided opportunities to teach and assess all six of the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education core competencies. This academic career development course was intended to prepare geriatric fellows as the next generation of academic leaders as clinician-teacher-scholars. It could set a new standard for academic development during fellowship training and provide a model for national dissemination in other geriatric and subspecialty fellowship programs.
