Summary
A student-led faculty development course improved health sciences instructors' knowledge of teaching and learning principles. Faculty found the applicable content and evidence-based concepts highly valuable.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Health Professions Education
- Faculty Development
Background:
- Health sciences faculty often transition from clinical practice to academia without formal training in teaching.
- This lack of formal training can limit the development of expertise in the science of teaching.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the effectiveness of a student-led faculty development course.
- To evaluate faculty perceptions of a student-led faculty development program.
Main Methods:
- Faculty from a clinical graduate program participated in a longitudinal, four-module student-led faculty development course.
- Data were collected through module evaluations, pre- and post-course knowledge assessments, and a comprehensive course evaluation.
- Descriptive statistics were used to analyze course effectiveness and faculty perceptions.
Main Results:
- Faculty participants (N=5) demonstrated significant improvement in knowledge of teaching and learning principles (p < 0.01).
- The relevance of course topics to instructors' roles received high ratings (4.31 ± 0.22).
- Overall curriculum delivery (4.20 ± 0.46) and student instructional quality (3.80 ± 0.72) were rated highly by faculty.
Conclusions:
- A student-led faculty development course effectively enhanced faculty knowledge of learning, teaching, and assessment.
- Faculty valued the course's applicable content, evidence-based concepts, and interactive discussions.

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
