Background: A gender gap in leadership exists in academic medicine. Medical school faculty rosters indicate an overrepresentation of women in entry-level positions. As positions increase in seniority and leadership responsibilities, there is an underrepresentation of women. The reasons for this discrepancy are not fully understood, but the mid-career transition is one career point that some scholars hypothesize is part of the leaky pipeline. The University of Rochester Medical Center developed a career development program (CDP) to focus on this pivotal career developmental time period. We assessed the impact of the CDP on self-assessed knowledge, competence, self-identified goals, and promotions.
Materials and Methods: Four cohorts of mid-career women completed preself-assessment and postself-assessment and ranked their current knowledge and competence on 11 topics grouped into 3 career development domains. They identified three personal goals and ranked their success in achieving them at the end of the program. Facilitators followed participants annually for promotions and accomplishments.
Results: Fifty-one participants reported statistically significant improvements in knowledge and competency in all domains—promotional, organizational infrastructure, and communication. They identified 148 individual goals that we grouped into 4 categories: career development (32%), leadership (26%), networking (22%), and negotiation (20%), and the majority achieved their individual goals. Upon the last review, 23.5% of women were promoted or received tenure.
Conclusions: A CDP targeting the needs of mid-career women faculty in academic medicine improved knowledge and competency in multiple domains. Longitudinal data and comparison to nonparticipants are needed to fully understand its impact.
