What is Faculty Development?
Faculty development is a term used to describe activities and programs designed to assist faculty members in developing skills related to the 3 domains or pillars of academic medicine. These domains include skills related to the roles of teacher & educator, researcher & scholar, and administrator & leader.
Some people wonder if there is a difference between Faculty Development and Continuing Medical Education. Faculty Development activities are specifically created to improve comfort and competence in skills relevant to teaching and learning, leadership and management, and research responsibilities. Continuing Medical Education (CME) are activities specifically designed to help maintain medical competence and to keep physicians up to date on the latest developments in the medical field.
Both CME and Faculty Development are part of continuing professional development (CPD) and life-long learning.
