“…Predictors of leadership were chief resident status, male gender, and honors received (17). Similarly, in a study of attendings, having been a chief resident was associated with being named an excellent role model (18). These studies imply that serving as an ACR may be an indicator or stepping stone to future academic leadership.…”

Background: There is no literature on the administrative chief resident (ACR) in surgery or disparities of this leadership position. Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the rates of perceived female and minority leadership at the resident level. Patients and Methods: After institutional review board (IRB) approval, a pilot survey was sent to surgical residents and faculty at a single university surgical program. The survey was revised based on small group feedback and a specialist in study design. It was then sent to all US surgical residents and program directors, and analyzed using Survey Monkey. Results: There was a 10% resident response rate, 22% program director, most from a program with 50% female residents. 71% report no clear ACR policy, 64% believe the position appointed. Half report less than 25% female ACRs, 54% zero minority ACRs. Program directors reported more female ACRs, but similar lack of selection policy. 54% believe ACR receives a stipend. 31% report more than 75% went into academics. Conclusions: Although most surgical programs train 50% female residents, residents perceive that fewer than 25% ACRs are female. ACRs in the United States are often receiving a stipend and going into academic practice. Programs should keep diversity in mind in appointing ACR.

“…Related functions were humanism and professionalism. A role model is defined by clinical excellence (15,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) and humanistic personality (15,19,20,22,24), as well as effective teaching skills (21,26).…”

“…Clinical excellence: clinical excellence and competency (15,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) are essential elements of role modeling.

“…While training students without the institutionalization of professional moral values is a major criticism to the medical education (11), the role modeling has been recognized as a distinguished educational method to convey attitudes, behaviors, values and professional ethics to the students (12)(13)(14). Role modeling actually forms the core characters of the learners and has a unique power to transmit the values of medical profession and provide outstanding behavioral patterns for future health care providers to be trained (15). In spite of weak planning for the education through the role modeling, students implicitly and traditionally reproduce communication behaviors of faculty and clinical staff (16,17).…”
