Faculty Retreats in Academic Medicine: Tutorial.
Article in JMIR medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Unlabelled: Faculty development is a cornerstone of academic medicine, supporting personal growth, professional advancement, and departmental effectiveness across all stages of a faculty member's career. Among the tools available, faculty retreats have increasingly emerged as a high-impact strategy to foster collaboration, advance strategic planning, and address individual and collective goals in a structured, reflective setting. While retreats are widely used in other sectors, practical guidance tailored to the academic medicine context remains limited. This tutorial offers a comprehensive, step-by-step framework for planning and implementing faculty retreats within academic departments. Key elements of effective retreat design are outlined, including (1) conducting a preretreat needs assessment to align goals with faculty priorities, (2) selecting an appropriate format (eg, in-person or hybrid), (3) fostering psychological safety to enhance participation, and (4) using facilitation techniques that promote inclusive dialogue and actionable outcomes. The tutorial also emphasizes logistical considerations, such as agenda design, timing, and participant engagement strategies, alongside mechanisms to ensure follow-up and accountability after the retreat. In addition to highlighting common barriers, such as resource limitations, scheduling constraints, and engagement disparities, the tutorial provides practical solutions drawn from real-world examples in academic medicine. By integrating thoughtful planning, evidence-informed facilitation, and postretreat follow-through, faculty retreats can serve as transformative experiences that support both individual development and departmental cohesion. This resource aims to fill a gap in the literature by equipping leaders in academic medicine with a structured approach to designing, executing, and sustaining the benefits of faculty retreats.
