Strategies for successful integration of work from home faculty in an academic radiology department

Abstract

Academic radiology departments have added increasing numbers of entirely remote “work-from-home” or hybrid faculty. This change has presented both an opportunity to recruit and retain faculty as well as a set of challenges to maintaining the full academic mission and educational environment. In this article we describe our experience with creating a remote faculty position and the key elements that we believe made it successful. Guiding principles for the department and faculty member accepting such a position are proposed and discussed.
