One of the many challenges that academic medicine leaders face is helping faculty deal with significant changes in their career direction or emphasis. How we as leaders deal with those challenging moments is very impactful both for the individual faculty members and for the rest of the faculty and institution. How we handle these vitally important moments is among the most potent factors defining our leadership and the culture of our teams.

Bringing a faculty member or employee into an organization has very important implications for the future success of the organization and the recruit. Making a bad choice in hiring is extraordinarily painful for a department and for a faculty member whose career suffers as a result. Often faculty searches bring candidates who may be known to a member of the search committee and, as a result, references may be deemed unnecessary. In this conversation, members of the Child Health Advisory Council discuss the importance of obtaining references prior to completing all faculty searches.

Episode 22: Strategies for Building Clinical Research Infrastructure

/

This Pediatric Insight Conversation focused on needs, approaches, and strategies for doing the critically essential work of clinical research that is crucial to continuously improving patient care and outcomes in pediatrics.

Initial comments focused on the need for a critical assessment of existing infrastructure, personnel, and resources upon which to build. Particular emphasis was on having or developing dedicated staff, especially research coordinators and data management experts, to assure quality control and precision of data. The need to share and coordinate such personnel and expertise across divisions within a department was noted as a way to increase efficiency and quality. The benefits of involving the community to assure adequate inclusion and diversity of subjects and to develop trust within the community to have open and in-depth responses were mentioned.

The executive search services provided by CareerPhysician can include a search-focused division or department review by a member of its Child Health Advisory Council (CHAC). This unique review can lay important groundwork for a successful leadership search outcome. In this conversation, CHAC members discuss goals and deliverables of these reviews; their experience doing the reviews; and their reflections on how these reviews would have helped in their own leadership searches.

Our goal as pediatricians is to improve patient care and outcomes. Our panel discusses how and why clinical research is critical to that goal. We also emphasize how clinical research improves interactions among faculty; extends collaboration to other departments; schools, and the lay community, and provides opportunities for faculty development. It is essential to the academic mission of departments of all sizes and scopes.
