abstract: 'Context: The United States lacks timely reliable mechanisms for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
assessing the professional work of subspecialty physicians.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Objective: The aim was to use early-career members of The Endocrine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Society as a model to estimate subspecialty physician involvement in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
patient care, teaching, research, and administration among clinical,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
academic, federal, and pharmaceutical/biotech workplaces and to assess
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the workforce for research within individual workplaces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods: Physicians joining The Endocrine Society from 1991-2005 and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
residing in North America were invited to complete a Web-based survey.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This report relies on 817 early-career endocrinologists or 29.6\% of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
eligible respondents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: Respondents from all types of workplaces engaged in patient
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
care, teaching, research, and administration. The time committed to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
four tasks, however, differed significantly among workplaces. Research
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(basic, translational, disease, patient, population, and prevention) was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accomplished within all workplaces, but the scope and scale of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
investigative work was employer dependent. Recipients of National
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Institutes of Health K08/23 awards succeeded in receiving federal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
research project grants (P < 0.001). Respondents associated research
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with lowered incomes, a perception validated by an estimated drop in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
annual earnings of 2.8\% per half-day spent on research (P < 0.001).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Women in academic settings earned less than men (P < 0.01) and were less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likely to occupy tenure-eligible positions (P < 0.01).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: Web-based surveys offer a simple tool for estimating the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work of subspecialty physicians and provide a framework for improving
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
biomedical investigation. Several interventions should be considered for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
endocrinology: recruit physicians from underrepresented demographic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
groups, increase K08/23 awards, incentivize investigative careers, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improve the national infrastructure for biomedical research. (J Clin
