Résumé
The position of Vice Chair of Education (VCE) is increasingly common in Surgery Departments. The role remains ill-defined. The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions of Department Chairs (DCs) and Other Education Stakeholders (OESs) regarding the VCE role. DCs and OESs at institutions with a VCE were surveyed. Descriptive statistics and cross-tabulations were calculated (SAS V9.4). The overall response rate was 25% (166/666). There were significant differences in whether DCs and OESs agree that the VCE supports others in fulfilling educational roles (95.2% vs 49.5%, p = 0.0002), is critical in achieving education missions (90.5% vs 56.6%, p = 0.0032), enhances the quality of education (95.3% vs 65.7%, p = 0.0174), and is important to education teams (95.0% vs 68.7%, p = 0.0464). DCs value the VCE role more so than OESs, whom VCEs support. In order for VCEs to be effective educational leaders in Departments of Surgery, the needs of key stakeholders deserve further clarification.

BACKGROUND
The position of Vice Chair of Education (VCE) is increasingly common in Surgery Departments. The role remains ill-defined. The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions of Department Chairs (DCs) and Other Education Stakeholders (OESs) regarding the VCE role.
METHODS
DCs and OESs at institutions with a VCE were surveyed. Descriptive statistics and cross-tabulations were calculated (SAS V9.4).
RESULTS
The overall response rate was 25% (166/666). There were significant differences in whether DCs and OESs agree that the VCE supports others in fulfilling educational roles (95.2% vs 49.5%, p = 0.0002), is critical in achieving education missions (90.5% vs 56.6%, p = 0.0032), enhances the quality of education (95.3% vs 65.7%, p = 0.0174), and is important to education teams (95.0% vs 68.7%, p = 0.0464).
CONCLUSIONS
DCs value the VCE role more so than OESs, whom VCEs support. In order for VCEs to be effective educational leaders in Departments of Surgery, the needs of key stakeholders deserve further clarification.
