Key Points

To evaluate program directors' experiences implementing an institutional support program designed to retain early-career physician-scientists with extraprofessional caregiving duties.
Conducted an interpretive, descriptive qualitative evaluation using semi-structured telephone interviews.
Interviewed 12 program directors (10 women [83.3%]) representing all 10 US medical schools awarded Doris Duke Charitable Foundation funding in 2016.
Program directors reported that the awards prompted institutional culture change by normalizing discussions of extraprofessional caregiving challenges and reassessing faculty support models.
Identified four central themes: championing a new paradigm of support, lessons learned during implementation, direct program outcomes, and strategies for sustaining the support paradigm long-term.
