OBJECTIVES: Characterize the skills and abilities required for department chairs, identify development needs, and then create AACP professional development programs for chairs. METHODS: A 30-question electronic survey was sent to AACP member department chairs related to aspects of chairing an academic department. RESULTS: The survey identified development needs in the leadership, management, and personal abilities required for effective performance as department chair. The information was used to prioritize topics for subsequent AACP development programs. Subsequent programs conducted at AACP Interim and Annual Meetings were well attended and generally received favorable reviews from participants. A list of development resources was placed on the AACP website. CONCLUSIONS: This ongoing initiative is part of an AACP strategy to identify and address the professional development needs of department chairs. Survey results may also inform faculty members and other academic leaders about the roles and responsibilities of department chairs.
