This volume addresses all facets of faculty development,
including academic and career development, teaching improvement,
research capacity building, and leadership development. In
addition, it describes a multitude of ways, ranging from workshops
to the workplace, in which health professionals can develop their
knowledge and skills. By providing an informed and scholarly
overview of faculty development, and by describing original content
that has not been previously published, this book helps to ensure
that research and evidence inform practice, moves the scholarly
agenda forward, and promotes dialogue and debate in this evolving
field. It will prove an invaluable resource for faculty development
program planning, implementation and evaluation, and will help to
sustain faculty members vitality and commitment to excellence.
Kelley M. Skeff, M.D., Ph.D., May 2013:
In this text, Steinert and her colleagues have provided a
significant contribution to the future of faculty development. In
an academic and comprehensive way, the authors have both documented
past efforts in faculty development as well as provided guidance
and stimuli for the future. The scholarly and well-referenced
chapters provide a compendium of methods previously used while
emphasizing the expanding areas deserving work.Moreover, the
writers consistently elucidate the faculty development process by
highlighting the theoretical underpinnings of faculty development
and the research conducted.Thus, the book provides an important
resource for two major groups, current providers and researchers in
faculty development as well as those desiring to enter the field.
Both groups of readers can benefit from a reading of the entire
book or by delving into their major area of interest and passion.
In so doing, they will better understand our successes and our
limitations in this emerging field. Faculty development in the
health professions has now received attention for 6 decades. Yet,
dedicated faculty members trying to address the challenges in
medical education and the health care delivery system do not have
all the assistance they need to achieve their goals.This book
provides a valuable resource towards that end.
