Impact of Financial Incentives and Department Size on Scholarly Activity Output.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Family medicine research is essential to improving population health. It has the unique ability to answer questions about health care outcomes and use those insights to impact communities. Increasing research capacity continues to be a challenge; however, recent literature has touted the success of incentivization in several academic medicine specialties. We used the 2022 CERA annual Family Medicine Department Chair survey to characterize the amount and type of scholarly activities by institutional financial incentive status (yes or no) and type (flat vs variable amount), to investigate the relationship between financial incentives and scholarly output.

Methods

Questions included targeted demographic variables, institutional incentives, and family medicine department
