Abstract
Abstract Purpose The objective of this study is to identify program factors contributing to oncology postgraduate year 2 (OPGY2) preceptor demands and the impact they have on well-being. Methods A 22-question survey was sent to 127 oncology residency program directors (ORPDs) listed in the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) residency directory. The ORPDs were asked to complete and share the survey with preceptors supporting their program. The survey included questions about their program, workload perceptions, and time requirements. A one-time Professional Fulfillment Index (PFI) assessment was performed to assess burnout. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze responses. Nonparametric measurements were used to assess correlations between program characteristics and potential impact on well-being endpoints. Results At least one representative from 44 (33%) of the invited OPGY2 programs completed the survey. The average number of preceptors per program was 18.2, with an average of 9 learners precepted per respondent. Most of the programs (73.3%) had residency program coordinators. The majority of respondents (80%) received no incentives for being a preceptor. Some programs reported budgeted travel stipends (8.4%), financial incentives (6.2%), and reduced clinical responsibilities (4.5%). No preceptor reported budgeted protected time for precepting responsibilities. More than half (56.6%) of preceptors had considered resigning over the past year; the top 3 contributing factors were work-related burnout (43.8%), no compensation (30.9%), and ineffective leadership (29.2%). The mean PFI score was 2.41, and the mean burnout score was 1.42. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was –0.5216 (P < 0.001), suggesting a moderately strong negative correlation between burnout and PFI. Conclusion Site-specific and organizational support are needed to provide reform to balance preceptorship with other responsibilities.
