About Faculty Development

The Faculty Development Themed Collection will contain articles that relate to any aspect of faculty development in the health professions. For this Themed Collection, Faculty Development is defined as the broad range of activities that institutions use to renew or assist faculty members in their multiple roles. Faculty development activities include programs to enhance teaching and education, research and scholarly activity, academic leadership and management, and faculty affairs, including faculty recruitment, advancement, retention, and vitality. The intent of these activities is to assist faculty members in their roles as teachers, educators, leaders, administrators and researchers.  Authors are invited to submit articles to the Collection that meet the Aims and Scope of MedEdPublish and address faculty development in the health professions.

Articles may include, but will not be limited to, topics such as professional identity, future readiness in faculty development, preparing educators of the future, and advancing research and scholarship in faculty development.

Papers presented at the biennial International Conference on Faculty Development in the Health Professions will also be welcomed into this Themed Collection.
