Abstract

Abstract : The prevalence of low satisfaction and increased stress among faculty in academic medicine makes understanding faculty vitality in this field more important than ever before. To explore the contributors to and outcomes of faculty vitality, we conducted a multi‐institutional study of faculty in academic medicine (N = 1, 980, 42 percent response rate). Faculty were surveyed about climate and leadership, career and life management, satisfaction, engagement, productivity, and involvement in faculty development. Analysis reveals that controlling for other factors, academic medicine faculty who participate regularly in faculty development activities are significantly more satisfied, engaged, and productive.
