Exploring motivators and challenges for preceptors to teach in the clinical settings: a survey-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The retention of qualified faculty in medical colleges is hindered by low salaries and inadequate faculty-to-student ratios, despite intrinsic motivators like job satisfaction playing a critical role in faculty motivation. This study aims to understand and address the specific motivating factors and constraints within Saudi Arabia's medical education sector.

Methodology

A cross-sectional, validated online survey was conducted from November 2023 to January 2024 among physicians in Saudi Arabia's governmental and private sectors. Participants ranked teaching motivators and challenges using a Likert scale ranging from 5 (very important) to 1 (not very important). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test.
