Evaluating educational performance and achievements of faculty in general medicine departments of Japanese universities

Abstract

Abstract A cross‐sectional questionnaire‐based study was conducted to examine whether the educational performance and achievements are appropriately recognized and contribute to their promotion in university hospitals. We found that the chairpersons of those general medicine departments believed that educational performance had not been appropriately evaluated; educational achievements did not receive sufficient consideration for promotion compared with the performance and achievements related to clinical and research activities.
