5. 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.

6. 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

7. Survey Respondents Cohort response rate: 64% (N = 19,780)
Institution response rate: 66% (N = 656)

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
