Abstract:
Clinical faculty need creative, systematic, and supportive approaches for their success. Academic institutions and departments have a unique opportunity to engage its faculty by sponsoring and creating innovative professional development programs to enhance leadership, research, teaching, and clinical skills. The added benefit of these "homegrown" programs is that clinical faculty members feel more valued, engaged, and supported and will want to better align their priorities with the strategic priorities of the institution. There are excellent national resources to learn from to support and complement local professional development efforts. Each department needs to balance any standard with customized approaches.
