Abstract
Faculty development involves activities that prepare faculty members to fulfill academic roles as teachers, educators, and leaders. In addition to personnel with specialized expertise in faculty development, most medical schools rely upon the contributions of occasional faculty developers for whom faculty development is not their primary responsibility or area of training. Recruiting occasional faculty developers, many of whom are also clinicians, to support faculty development programming can be challenging. In this article, we provide suggestions for how to successfully recruit and retain occasional faculty developers to provide education to medical faculty on teaching and other academic topics.
Résumé
La formation professorale comprend des activités qui préparent les membres du corps professoral à s’acquitter de leurs rôles universitaires en tant qu'enseignants, formateurs et leaders. En plus d’un personnel spécialisé dans la formation professorale, la plupart des facultés de médecine comptent sur les contributions de formateurs occasionnels pour qui la formation professorale n'est pas leur responsabilité principale ou leur domaine de formation. Le recrutement de formateurs occasionnels, dont beaucoup sont également des cliniciens, pour soutenir les programmes de formation professorale peut s'avérer difficile. Dans cet article, nous faisons des suggestions sur la manière de recruter et de fidéliser des formateurs occasionnels pour former les membres du corps professoral médical à l'enseignement et à d'autres sujets académiques.
