title: Clinical departmental director: manager or scholar?
abstract: We should look very hard at what is required to maintain the role of clinical departmental directors as clinician-scholars and academic leaders. We should consider what is needed to permit them to have the time and energy to participate in their own areas of scholarship, and to be active in longer-term planning not only for their departments but also for their own medical institutions and national health issues as a whole.
