“…Respondents indicated their views on arguments about term limits using a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (completely valid or important in advancing school or program priorities) to 5 (completely invalid or unimportant in advancing school or program priorities). In addition to arguments offered by Malcom et al, 4 respondents were provided the opportunity to offer additional arguments. One question asked for the respondents to assess appropriate terms and limits for their school or program, and a final open-ended question asked for any other comments the respondent wished to offer related to terms or limits for academic public health administration.…”

“…Questions of term limits have recently been asked for schools of dentistry, 1 medicine, 2,3 and pharmacy. 4 In part, calls for term limits in the health professions are associated with creating opportunities for diversity, equity, and inclusion in academic leadership. In the United States, women compose 21% (16 of 77) of dental school deans, 5 19% (28 of 148) of medical school deans, 6 22% (27 of 122) of pharmacy deans, 4 and 43% (54 of 127) of public health deans or directors.…”

Objectives Term limits might be appropriate for leadership positions in academic public health. This study assessed the appointment processes and terms for deans, directors, and chairs of schools and programs of public health and their views on term limits. Methods A 10-question survey was developed for the Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health and provided electronically to 127 deans and program directors in November and December 2019, of whom 58 (46%) responded. Results Of 54 respondents to the question on term limits, 45 deans and directors of schools and programs of public health served with no terms or limits and 9 served with terms of 3-5 years with no limits on the number of terms. Respondents largely agreed with most arguments for or against term limits. Of 51 respondents, most indicated completely or moderately valid support for 2 arguments for term limits: diversity (n = 40) and succession planning (n = 40). Of 51 respondents, most indicated completely or moderately valid support for 3 arguments against term limits: stable and continuous leadership (n = 40), time for leadership development (n = 37), and loss of institutional memory (n = 35). Twenty-seven of 53 responding deans and directors viewed the most appropriate terms and limits as being more restrictive than their current terms; the other 26 viewed the most appropriate terms as being the same as their current terms. No respondents preferred less restrictive limits than their current terms. Conclusion Although term limits for deans, directors, and chairs are rare in schools and programs of public health, many deans and directors view term limits as appropriate. Schools and programs may reconsider their current policies for term limits.

In today's world, departments of anesthesiology and professional organizations are rightfully expected to have racial, ethnic, and gender diversity. Diversity and inclusiveness are considered important contributors to an effective and collaborative work environment by promoting excellence in patient care, education, and research. This has been re-emphasized in the racial reckoning in the summer of 2020, and the ongoing health care disparities manifested by the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Moreover, the negative consequences of a lack of diversity and inclusion in health care have been shown to impact recruitment, retention, and the economic well-being of academic departments. In the present article, we review the current state of diversity in anesthesiology departments and professional organizations in the United States. We discuss strategies and important approaches to further enhance diversity to promote an inclusive perioperative work environment. (Anesth Analg 2022;134:1166-74)
