    Author: Layman EJ, Bamberg R, Jones HP.
    Journal: J Allied Health; 2002; 31(4):197-203. PubMed ID: 12491948.
    Abstract:
    This study was conducted as the second phase of a larger study assessing leadership development in schools or units of member institutions of the Association of Schools of Allied Health Professions. A survey was mailed to the chairs of 21 search committees for the position of lead administrator (i.e., dean or director) of an allied health school or unit; 20 (95%) responded. Of the respondents, 55% reported that filling the dean/director position was very easy (15%) or moderately easy (40%). The mean number of viable candidates was 11.7, and the mean time to recruit a new dean/director was 6.9 months. Most (65%) new deans/directors had backgrounds in the health professions, with the greatest number being nursing (n = 3). The greatest proportion (30%) were assistant/associate deans before becoming dean/director. The actual experiences of search committees in this study showed a relatively adequate pool of applicants for dean/director of allied health positions.
