From April through June 2007, a Medical School Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey was done as a pilot study at Stanford as well as nine other medical schools. The survey was created in a partnership between the AAMC and the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE). The Executive Summary (link) provides a broad overview of several hundred pages of data that describes the overall satisfaction and experiences of the faculty of Stanford, with comparisons to the other institutions. We invite you to peruse and discuss these results.
For this pilot survey, respondents did not include clinician educators; the School of Medicine would like to include clinician educators in this survey as soon as it is possible to do so. The AAMC/COACHE plans a national rollout of the survey tool and benchmarking report in the Fall 2008.
