Family Medicine Residency Faculty: Inpatient Staffing, Satisfaction, and Turnover.
Article in Family medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesPhysician scheduling affects job satisfaction and retention. This study explores how family medicine residency inpatient staffing relates to core faculty retention and program director (PD) perception of faculty satisfaction with work-life integration.
methodsA total of 280 family medicine residency PDs responded to the 2023 Council of Academic Family Medicine Education Research Alliance survey. We used the ꭓ2 test to explore associations among program demographics, inpatient staffing characteristics, faculty retention, and PD-reported faculty satisfaction with work-life integration. We measured associations among pairs of ordinal variables with Spearman's correlation.
resultsIn two-thirds (66%) of programs, faculty cover the inpatient service at least every 8 weeks, with 40% of programs reporting averages of 70 or more hours per inpatient week; nevertheless, most programs' faculty were perceived to be satisfied with less than 10% turnover. The number of hours per week was inversely associated with PD-reported faculty satisfaction (r=-0.21, P=.001). Faculty turnover was directly associated with community size (r=0.17, P=.01). Faculty turnover was more likely to be greater than 10% if the number of hours per inpatient week was more than 89 (odds ratio 12.4, P=.02). Faculty turnover, PD-reported faculty dissatisfaction, and plans to change inpatient staffing were all correlated (r>0.28, P<.0001).
conclusionsMost family medicine residencies have core faculty cover the inpatient service at least once every 8 weeks, during which they work at least 60 hours per week. Longer hours are associated with lower perceived faculty satisfaction of work-life integration, with a threshold effect on faculty turnover. Family medicine residency programs must carefully balance the needs of residents, the community served, and faculty themselves.
