Summary
Recruiting occasional faculty developers is crucial for medical school faculty development. This article offers strategies to successfully recruit and retain these valuable educators for teaching and academic topic training.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Faculty Development Programs
- Academic Medicine
Background:
- Faculty development is essential for academic roles in medical schools.
- Occasional faculty developers, often clinicians, are vital but challenging to recruit.
- These individuals lack specialized faculty development training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide actionable suggestions for recruiting occasional faculty developers.
- To outline strategies for retaining occasional faculty developers in medical education.
- To enhance faculty development programming through effective recruitment.
Main Methods:
- Literature review on faculty development recruitment and retention.
- Analysis of best practices in engaging clinicians as educators.
- Development of practical recommendations for medical school administrators.
Main Results:
- Successful recruitment requires clear role definition and support.
- Retention strategies include recognition, flexible scheduling, and professional development.
- Addressing the unique needs of clinicians is key to engagement.
Conclusions:
- Effective recruitment and retention of occasional faculty developers can strengthen medical faculty education.
- Implementing targeted strategies ensures a sustainable pool of educators.
- This approach supports the professional growth of both faculty developers and trainees.

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Long-term potentiation, or LTP, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTP is the process of synaptic strengthening that occurs over time between pre- and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic strengthening of LTP works in opposition to the synaptic weakening of long-term depression (LTD) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population.
Convenience sampling is a non-random method of sample selection; this method selects individuals that are easily accessible and may result in biased data. For example, a marketing...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

An experimental design is a systematic process that allows researchers to evaluate the relationship between dependent and independent variables. There are three widely used types of experimental design - pre-experimental design, true experimental design, and quasi-experimental design. In pre-experimental design, the researcher compares the data before and after some interventions or treatments. The true-experimental design has more than one purposefully created group, a commonly measured...
