All DOEs held concurrent leadership roles in undergraduate or graduate medical education or within hospital medicine. The most cited goals of the educational mission were improving teaching quality (76%, 16\/21), mentoring HM faculty educators (67%, 14\/21), and expanding HM faculty teaching opportunities (57%, 12\/21). Core responsibilities included developing internal HM education\u2010related faculty development (100%), liaising with UME, GME, and CME leadership (71%, 15\/21), and leading strategic planning to integrate learners into clinical services (57%, 12\/21). Among institutions without a DOE, key barriers included lack of precedent (70%, 7\/10), distributed responsibilities (60%, 6\/10), and insufficient funding (60%, 6\/10).<\/jats:p>\n
