Associate Residency Training Directors in Psychiatry: Demographics, Professional Activities, and Job Satisfaction ACADEMIC PSYCHIATRY Arbuckle, M. R., DeGolia, S. G., Esposito, K., Miller, D. A., Weinberg, M., Brenner, A. M. 2012; 36 (5): 391-394

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to characterize associate training director (ATD) positions in psychiatry.An on-line survey was e-mailed in 2009 to all ATDs identified through the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training (AADPRT). Survey questions elicited information regarding demographics, professional activities, job satisfaction, and goals.Of 170 ATDs surveyed, 73 (42.9%) completed the survey. Most respondents (71.3%) had been in their positions for 3 years or less. Many ATDs indicated that they were involved in virtually all aspects of residency training; 75% of respondents agreed that they were happy with their experience. However, specific concerns included inadequate time and compensation for the ATD role in addition to a lack of mentorship and unclear job expectations.Thoughtful attention to the construction of the ATD role may improve job satisfaction.
