{Abstract}: <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>As clinician educator tracks continue to gain popularity in graduate medical education, this report aims to fill a gap in the literature by providing a 14-year update on professional outcomes of participants in a psychiatry residency academic administrator, clinician educator (AACE) track and to compare these outcomes to non-track participants.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>An anonymous web-based survey querying professional achievements was distributed to all graduates of a psychiatry residency training program from 2009 to 2022. Outcomes of AACE track participants and non-track participants were compared.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Of 228 alumni contacted, 61% responded (n = 140). Eighty-seven percent of track participants responded (n = 74) while 41% of non-track participants responded (n = 45). Of track participants, 63% practice in academic settings with 57% having held administrative leadership roles, 49% educational leadership roles, and 39% national or regional leadership roles. Track graduates were academically engaged with 70% reporting at least one publication, 89% at least one presentation, and 93% attending at least one national meeting. In comparison, 31% of non-track participants practice in academic settings with 44% having held administrative, 29% educational, and 20% national or regional leadership roles. Thirty-nine percent have at least one publication, 75% at least one presentation, and 90% attended at least one national meeting. When compared to non-track participants, track participants were significantly more likely to have an academic affiliation and a higher number of publications and were more likely to hold national or regional leadership roles.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Track participants demonstrate longitudinal career success as clinician educators and academic administrators more so than non-track participants.
