Faculty Development

Three-Tiered Program

Basic Program:

The first “level” of faculty development will consist of the completion of six modules. The modules include:

• Welcome and Orientation
• Teaching, Learning, and Assessment
• Knowing Your Audience: The Medical Student
• Effective Feedback
• Available Resources (including Library Resources, Educational Technology Resources, and Learning Resources)
• Planning a Course or Block of Instruction

These modules can be completed in an online format or a face-to-face setting.  The modules will be updated annually and at least three new modules will be available each year.   

Intermediate Program:

The Intermediate Program will require completion of the Basic Program, and continuing attendance at other faculty development offerings. Additionally, the Intermediate Program will offer the following:

• Medical Education Certificate Program (approved; will begin January 2013)

• Modeling Excellence in Teaching Series (MET Series; target start date is Fall 2012)
• Medical Academic Scholars Honor Program (MASH; target start date is Spring 2013)

More information will be posted on the website soon!  Please check back for frequent updates.

Advanced Program:

Participation in the Advanced Program will include the completion of the Basic Program and participation in at least one component (Medical Education Certificate Program, Medical Academic Scholars Honor Program, or Modeling Excellence in Teaching Series) of the Intermediate Program. 

At this level, mentoring, developing and offering faculty development sessions, and/or participation in educational research will be the focus. 

• The Academy of Distinguished Medical Educators will also be considered part of the advanced program.  Academy membership will be attained through nomination and honorary acceptance.  The Academy is currently "under construction."  However, we are proud to announce that we are finalizing guidelines, expectations, and a call for nominations process.  More information will be forthcoming.    
• In conjunction with additional components in the HSC, a Master's degree for Health Professions Education (approved; more information available soon; will begin January 2014)
