Survey Administration The AAMC has conducted the Faculty Forward Engagement Survey at 25 U.S. medical schools. These schools represent the comparative “cohort.” From this cohort, we were allowed to choose 4 schools as “peers” for benchmarking. Boston University School of Medicine University of California, Davis School of Medicine University of New Mexico School of Medicine University of South Florida College of Medicine Peer institutions were selected based on similarities with the UC COM in terms of: 1) number of faculty 2) organization and governance structures 3) structure of the faculty practice plan Organization and governance structures = public vs private; financial relationship to parent university (integrated or freestanding); Research intensity based on federal research expenditures.

Interpreting Results For most questions, there were 5 choices of response: Strongly agree Agree Neither agree or disagree Disagree Strongly disagree Summary data shows the percentage in the “Top 2” ie, Strongly agree and Agree We do not have individual identifiers Each question stands alone, no multivariable analysis possible

Survey Respondents Cohort response rate: 64% (N = 19,780) Institution response rate: 66% (N = 656) Respondent Characteristics at Our Institution Survey Respondents % Response All Faculty 656 66% Full-Time 596 71% Part-Time 60 40% Basic Science 50 85% Clinical 606 68% Senior (i.e., Full or Associate) 352 ND Junior (i.e., Assistant) 269 Male 446 69% Female 210 62% Majority (i.e., White or Asian) 620 67% Minority (i.e., all other) 36 61% See the Extended Methodology of your report for survey respondent Ns and percentages.

Excerpt of Dawn’s Summary Women are more likely to believe that promotion practices at UC are not fairly applied and discriminate against women Women have a significant knowledge gap when it comes to requirements for promotion Much lower than women at peer institutions Women have less overall job satisfaction than men at UC, and less than women at other peer institutions
