Faculty development needs assessment research in medical education has grown significantly, yet remains geographically concentrated and methodologically limited. Priority needs include teaching, assessment, and curriculum development, highlighting universal challenges and the need for targeted programming.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Research
  • Bibliometrics
  • Faculty Development

Background:

  • Faculty development is crucial for medical education quality.
  • The scholarly landscape of faculty development needs assessment lacks systematic mapping.
  • Understanding research trajectories, concentration, themes, and methods is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To bibliometrically analyze the intellectual structure of faculty development needs assessment research in medical education (2005-2025).
  • To identify consistent faculty development priorities across diverse institutional contexts.
  • To map growth, geographic concentration, thematic architecture, and methodological foundations.

Main Methods:

  • Bibliometric analysis using Biblioshiny (Bibliometrix v5.1.0, R v4.4.1).

Comparing Bibliometric Analysis Using PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science Databases

Published on: October 24, 2019

  • Data sourced from Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed.
  • Included publication trends, geographic distribution, citation patterns, keyword co-occurrence, thematic mapping, and collaboration networks, supplemented by narrative synthesis.

    • Main Results:

    • Publication output increased eightfold (2005-2025), with accelerated growth post-2018.
    • Research is concentrated in high-income countries, notably the US.
    • Needs assessment, staff development, and curriculum were key themes; priorities included teaching skills, assessment, feedback, curriculum development, supervision, and scholarship.
    • Methodology predominantly used cross-sectional surveys with limited evaluation beyond Kirkpatrick Level 1.

    Conclusions:

    • Faculty development needs assessment research shows substantial growth but is geographically concentrated and methodologically limited.
    • Consistent priority needs indicate universal medical education challenges, necessitating targeted programming.
    • Future research should employ longitudinal designs, expand global capacity, and measure authentic educational impact beyond self-report.
