Continuous scientific and societal advancements necessitate professional development opportunities for educators to stay current. The diverse backgrounds and needs of medical educators makes one-size-fits-all faculty development programs ineffective. One strategy to overcome this hurdle is to provide personalized development opportunities, including mentoring, coaching, or advising. Here, we describe a peer-mentoring program designed to connect faculty across medical schools to promote personalized professional development. This program enables participants to share ideas, collaborate on teaching or scholarship, problem solve, network, and learn how other institutions function and overcome common hurdles. We propose that this inter-institutional peer-mentoring program could be implemented at other institutions using this model.
