FACULTY SALARY, APPLICANTS & ENROLLMENT, PROGRAM BUDGET DATA, and MORE

The Institutional Profile Survey (IPS) provides a mechanism for collecting data about 32 of the most frequently represented programs at ASAHP member institutions. Faculty salaries and characteristics are reported by program type (e.g., physical therapy) and by faculty rank. Additional information focuses on student application and enrollment data, budgets, grants, and gift support. Results are grouped by kind (e.g., academic health centers), and in some cases, by location (southern institutions).

Data for individual faculty, students, and programs remain confidential. Only aggregate numbers are posted. Generally, results include high, low, median, and mean values and are maintained on the Internet from year-to-year so that members can conduct trend analyses and determine current values for the various data points.

Some additional effort may be required the first time that an institution participates in the survey, but after that, doing so is much faster and easier. The Internet-based approach makes it possible to enter data at one’s own pace and the task can be spread over several occasions during the collection period.

The survey is conducted completely online. Each institution is given its own login information, which can be obtained from Kristen (kristen@asahp.org) at the ASAHP office.

PREVIEW OF FACULTY MEMBER QUESTIONS

The following questions will have to be answered for each FACULTY MEMBER you include in your ASAHP Institutional Profile Survey data submission:

1. What is this faculty member's total base salary (do not include fringe benefits) for all the teaching, administration, and/or other activities he/she does in your health program(s) (exclusive of incentives)? When reporting the salary of an administrator, include the entire salary (i.e., the base faculty salary + the administrative stipend + clinical stipend + research stipend), but do not include fringe benefits.

2. What is the extent in months of this faculty member’s appointment in your health unit (e.g. , 9 months, 10 months, 12 months)?

3. What is this faculty member’s total full-time equivalency (FTE) in your health unit (e.g., 1.0, 0.75, etc)?

4. What is the % effort of this faculty member in areas of teaching/instruction, scholarship/research, clinical care, administrative/service? Total must equal 100%

Clinical Assistant Professor
Clinical Associate Professor
Lecturer

7. What is the faculty member's administrative title?

Because of the wide variety of nomenclature and assignments at ASAHP member institutions, it is difficult to describe every possibility. Even if that could be done, the statistical “n” for each group may be too small to be usable. Accordingly, please use the following general descriptions to aid you in selecting the most appropriate administrative title to use in this survey. Please select the one that most closely describes what the faculty member does, even if the nomenclature here differs from that used by your institution.

List of values for question 7:

None
Dean: the chief administrator of the total health unit. In some institutions this person may be called a division director or department head or chairman.
Associate & Assistant Deans: health unit-wide positions with specific areas of responsibility who report directly to the dean.
Department/Division Chair: the chief administrator of a programmatic unit ( e.g. , department, division) representing one or more disciplines. This person normally reports to a dean. In many cases, the department houses only one discipline, although it may offer instruction at different degree levels. In some cases, as described in the next paragraph, the department houses more than one discipline.
Program Head/Director: the chief administrator of an academic unit that is part of a larger subunit of the allied health college/school/division/etc. This person normally reports to a department chair. For example, a department of Radiologic Sciences might include programs in radiography, nuclear medicine technology, and diagnostic medical sonography. Each of those may have a program director who reports to the chair of the department.
Clinical Coordinator/Program Coordinator
Clinical/Practice Faculty
Other

DEAN TESTIMONIALS

Shown below are exemplary comments by deans who find it worthwhile to take part in the Institutional Profile Survey.

We find the information invaluable as we do a number of benchmarking studies. We trust the metrics more than data developed by professional associations in the disciplines that have vested interests in results. I think it helps faculty to trust that we are comparing to peers since many of our programs are the only ones in the state .
(Danielle Ripich, Ph.D., Dean, Medical University of South Carolina)

I use the survey primarily for comparisons for faculty salary data and faculty profiles (e.g. highest degrees completed). Most recently, I’ve been using it to compare operating budgets for programs at 4-year institutions. I find it to be a very useful “reality check.”

and I’m planning to share the salary data with our VP for Human Resources this year as we begin a faculty and staff compensation study. I think these data will be more useful than other national databases for allied health salary comparisons. I’m very supportive of the participation of members in the survey. The greater the participation, the more reliable the results will be .
(Patricia Walker, Ph.D., Dean, Sacred Heart University)

I have participated in the Institutional Profile Survey since its inception. I use the data on a continuous basis to weigh issues and make decisions related to the School. Perhaps the most useful has been the salary data, which has helped me to determine market ranges for the various allied health professions. This has been invaluable for hiring new faculty and determining merit increases. Student enrollment data, operating budget, grants, and external funding have all been helpful in providing key information for benchmarking analysis.
