Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Family Medicine Development
  • Faculty Training

Background:

  • Many medical schools globally aim to establish family medicine programs but lack trained faculty.
  • Malta's sole medical school encountered this challenge, necessitating an innovative faculty development strategy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an intensive eight-month faculty training course for general practitioners in Malta.
  • To assess the effectiveness of a locally-based model for developing academic family medicine educators.

Main Methods:

  • An intensive eight-month course was designed for ten experienced Maltese general practitioners.
  • Adult learners actively participated in course design, content contribution, and teaching.
  • Training utilized local resources within Malta's healthcare context and was benchmarked against Canadian standards.

Main Results:

  • Subjective and objective measures indicated successful achievement of course objectives.
  • The training model proved effective in preparing general practitioners for academic family medicine roles.
  • Outcomes aligned with certification standards of the Canadian College of Family Physicians.

Conclusions:

  • The developed faculty training model is a feasible and effective approach for establishing academic family medicine programs.
  • This model offers a practical solution for medical schools facing faculty shortages in family medicine.
  • Consideration of this training strategy is recommended for institutions seeking to build their family medicine academic capacity.
