Name
Plenary: Faculty Development in the Medical Sciences: Preparing for the Future
Description

Are we ready for the next 25 years of health professions education? How do we best prepare faculty members for the challenges that lie ahead?

Although there is no simple answer to these questions, part of the response may lie in faculty development – how we prepare current and new faculty members for the future. This presentation will focus on 3 possible foci for faculty development: (1) how faculty development can help to promote adaptive expertise and equip medical science educators to respond to change and uncertainty; (2) how faculty development can support professional identity formation and help faculty members uncover core values that should not change; and (3) how faculty development can be inclusive – of different professional backgrounds, different levels of expertise, and different personal and sociocultural backgrounds. In closing, we will also explore how faculty development can move beyond a focus on the individual to address organizational constraints and affordances that will enable the integration of generations and help medical science educators prepare for the future.
