Office of Faculty Development

Faculty development is a process by which medical school faculty, including preceptors teaching in the clinical setting, work systematically to improve their skills in the following areas: (1) educational skills, (2) leadership skills, (3) skills necessary to engage in scholarly activities, (4) personal development, and (5) skills in designing and implementing a professional development plan.

Faculty development activities are successful when individuals' goals in these five areas are being met and when simultaneously the goals of the organization are being met.
