Main Methods:
- A longitudinal primary care faculty development program was conducted from 2011-2016.
- 33 physician faculty participated in 20 months of training.
- 10 program graduates were matched with 10 non-participants for qualitative analysis of semistructured interviews.
Main Results:
- FD graduates reported greater perceived success and growth as educators.
- Graduates placed higher value on scholarly products and academic promotion.
- FD graduates developed more expansive local and national colleague networks compared to controls.
