Welcome to the Faculty Development Program within the Division of Medical Education, Dalhousie University.

The Faculty Development Program is committed to the planning, development and implementation of quality education programs that meet the evolving needs of all faculty. Mindful of the ongoing changes in health care delivery and practice, the distributed nature of the medical programs, and the recommendations and enabling recommendations outlined in the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada (AFMC) report, these programs will reflect the need to provide all faculty with opportunities to enhance leadership skills, management skills, professional academic skills, teaching and instructional skills, research skills, and the skills required for the teaching of specific content areas of the curricula. The Faculty Development Program will also recognize the breadth and depth of extant research in medical education to inform program development. In meeting the needs of all faculty engaged in our distributed medical education programs, Faculty Development opportunities will be designed and delivered in a variety of ways as to share and expand resources across faculties and partner sites.

We believe a strong faculty development program will sustain the vitality of the Faculty of Medicine, now and in the future. As we build our program offerings, we welcome your suggestions regarding learning needs and your collaboration in providing programs.
