Our Goal
Faculty Development refers to a broad range of activities that institutions use to renew or assist teachers and educators in their multiple academic roles.
Our goal is to provide high-quality faculty development programming to support faculty, supervisors, preceptors, field instructors, clinical educators, status appointees, and resident teachers.
We provide information about faculty development resources and programming:
- Specific to teaching and assessment in the MD Program,
- Specific for implementation of PGME competency-based education, and
- Content that is common for teachers and assessors needed in the implementation of the MD Program and PGME curriculum
