Objectives
1. Identification of specific faculty competencies necessary
to keep up with the evolving nature of faculty roles;
2. Identification of a continuum of faculty types according
to competencies in leadership, curriculum development, teaching,
research, administration and medical informatics;
3. Development of a menu driven self-assessment tool that
identifies competencies which can be used for personal and
professional development.
Strategies
1. Define faculty by roles in teaching, administration, research,
curriculum development, leadership and medical informatics.
Use a consultant panel and the FFI Advisory Committee to finalize
list.
2. Finalize competencies in administration, teaching, curriculum
development, multicultural (diversity), medical informatics,
leadership and health care management, and research.
3. Develop the assessment tool with input from the panel
and FFI Advisory Committee. Complete a pilot of the instrument
at East Carolina University and University of Pennsylvania
and appropriate consultant panel sites.
Outcomes
1. A flexible model that can be used as a tool for organization
and individual faculty development and promotion.
2. Descriptions of models/strategies recognizing and rewarding
teaching contributions for community-based preceptors.
3. Family medicine faculty competencies will be paired with
dissemination methods identified by the Faculty Development
Delivery and Dissemination Methods Project (Mark Quirk, EdD)
to provide increased access to faculty development opportunities
for all family medicine educators.
