目的医学教育学院可以被定义为学术教学人员的正式组织，他们被认为对学校的教育使命做出了卓越的贡献，并作为一个群体服务于机构的特定需求。作者研究了学院的特点，包括学院成员的录取、选择和保留的程序；学院成员的教员类型；项目目标；学院为个人和机构提供的福利；资金来源和金额；自2003年以来学院的快速增长。方法2008年，作者向127所美国医学院发送了一份在线问卷。使用描述性统计方法对调查结果进行分析。为了确定不同组之间的差异，进行了多变量方差分析。相关分析(Pearson R)用于确定变量之间的关联。效应大小使用ETA平方(&eegr；2)来确定。结果122所学校中有36所学校(回复率为96%)报告有学院，自2003年以来已有21所学校开办了学院，33所学校正在规划或考虑设立学院。在2004年之前建立的学院与2004年建立的学院在向个人提供的福利、成员条件和维持要求以及目标方面存在统计上的显著差异。结论罗杰斯的创新扩散理论可以解释近年来学院的扩张。在开始或重新审查现有的学院项目时，机构应考虑目标、申请流程、向成员提供的福利以及机构、消耗性资源和支持手段，因为最终产品取决于一开始所做的选择。
Purpose Academies of medical educators can be defined as formal organizations of academic teaching faculty recognized for excellence in their contributions to their school's education mission and who, as a group, serve specific needs of the institution. The authors studied the characteristics of academies, including the processes for admission, selection, and retention of academy members; the types of faculty who are academy members; program goals; benefits offered by academies to the individual and to the institution; funding sources and amounts; and the rapid increase in academies since 2003. Method In 2008, the authors sent an online questionnaire to 127 U.S. medical schools. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics. To determine differences between groups, multivariate analysis of variance was performed. Correlation analysis (Pearson r) was used to identify association between variables. Effect size was determined using eta squared (&eegr;2). Results Thirty-six of the 122 responding schools (96% response rate) reported having academies; 21 schools had initiated academies since 2003, and 33 schools were planning or considering academies. There was a statistically significant difference between academies established before 2004 and in 2004 regarding benefits offered to individuals, membership terms and maintenance requirements, and goals. Conclusions Rogers' theory of the diffusion of innovation may explain the recent spread of academies. When beginning or reexamining existing academy programs, institutions should consider goals, application process, benefits offered to members as well as the institution, expendable resources, and means of support, because the final product depends on the choices made at the beginning.
