Abstract

At the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, we implemented a longitudinal faculty development program for interested educators to practice applying foundational teaching concepts and to provide space to discuss sensitive and challenging teaching experiences. The program was created to help develop and maintain a community of medical educators and assist with their teaching portfolio for promotion. Here we describe the thematic organization of the faculty development program organized into pre-work, in-session, and post-work components.
