Summary
New faculty orientation (NFO) using case-based learning (CBL) significantly improved faculty satisfaction compared to traditional lectures. This engaging format enhances learning and collegiality.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Faculty Development
Background:
- Traditional New Faculty Orientation (NFO) often relies on lecture-based presentations.
- This format may limit learner engagement and active content utilization.
- A need exists for more interactive and effective onboarding methods for new faculty.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of a case-based learning (CBL) format on faculty satisfaction during New Faculty Orientation (NFO).
- To compare learner satisfaction scores between traditional lecture-based NFO and the revised CBL format.
Main Methods:
- A case-based learning (CBL) format was developed, linking cases and discussion questions to NFO content.
- Participants were assigned cases for discussion, followed by large-group debriefing sessions.
- Faculty satisfaction was measured using a 9-point Likert scale in post-session evaluations.
Main Results:
- Faculty satisfaction scores significantly increased after implementing the CBL format.
- Mean satisfaction scores rose from 7.17 in 2014 (traditional) to 7.90 (2015), 8.00 (2016), and 8.40 (2017) (p < .05).
- Qualitative feedback indicated enhanced learner engagement, networking, and collegiality.
Conclusions:
- A case-based learning (CBL) format demonstrably improves faculty satisfaction in New Faculty Orientation (NFO).
- The CBL approach fosters active learning, engagement, and collegiality among new faculty.
- This pedagogical model is directly applicable to faculty's own teaching environments.

01:18Introduction to Learning
850
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.

In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Binding sites linkages can regulate a protein's function. For example, enzyme activity is often regulated through a feedback mechanism where the end product of the biochemical process serves as an inhibitor.
Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of L-aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate. This reaction is the first step in pyrimidine biosynthesis. UTP and CTP, the end products of the pyrimidine synthesis...

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...
