“…Creating and widely disseminating faculty-friendly policies may increase both satisfaction (Rizvi et al, 2012) and retention in medical academia (Howell, Beckett, Nettiksimmons, & Villablanca, 2012). It may also aid individuals in overcoming barriers to advancement and promotion resulting from familial demands (Krener, 1994; Silver, 1995). Senior leaders and GWIMS representatives are situated to be champions for improved communication and policies.…”

Objective The purpose of this research was to examine the knowledge and perceptions of family leave policies and practices among senior leaders including American Association of Medical College members of the Group on Women in Medicine and Science (GWIMS) to identify perceived barriers to career success and satisfaction among female faculty. Methods In 2011–2012 GWIMS representatives and senior leaders at 24 medical schools were invited to participate in an interview about faculty perceptions of gender equity and overall institutional climate. An inductive thematic analysis of the qualitative data was conducted to identify themes represented in participant responses. The research team read and reviewed institutional family leave policies for concordance with key informant descriptions. Findings 22 GWIMS representatives and senior leaders comprised the final sample. Participants were female, 18 (82%) were full professors with the remainder being associate professors. Compared with publicly available policies at each institution, the knowledge of nine participants was consistent with policies, was discrepant for six, with the remaining seven acknowledging a lack of knowledge of policies. Four major themes were identified from the interview data: 1) Framing family leave as a personal issue undermines its effect on female faculty success; 2) Poor communication of policies impairs access and affects organizational climate; 3) Discrepancies in leave implementation disadvantage certain faculty in terms of time and pay; 4) Leave policies are valued and directly related to academic productivity. Conclusions Family leave policies are an important aspect of faculty satisfaction and academic success, yet policy awareness by senior leaders is lacking. Further organizational support is needed to promote equitable policy creation and implementation to support women in medical academia.

“…According to Silver [18], the path to becoming a psychiatrist manager is based on the interplay of five distinct factors: a mentor relationship; formal training in administration; individual personality traits; clinical psychiatric training; and administrative experience. Thus, providing education programmes alone, without also addressing mentoring systems and supported practical experience, is likely to be ineffective.…”

Are Psychiatrists Equipped for Management Roles in Mental Health Services?

For psychiatrists to maximize their potential as leaders in Australian and New Zealand mental health services, greater attention to promoting the acquisition of relevant skills throughout training and in the post-fellowship years is required. Psychiatrists need to be supported and encouraged to pursue further education, training and research in this area. Failure to address this issue risks psychiatrists continuing to feel disadvantaged in management roles and hence reluctant to undertake the challenge.
