Abstract

This paper offers an overview of faculty development program types, with references to specific programs described in the recent literature. Faculty development programs have been categorized in a number of ways. This review uses a variation of those typologies and suggests six types of faculty development activities: 1) organizational strategies, 2) fellowships, 3) comprehensive local programs, 4) workshops and seminars, 5) continuing medical education, and 6) individual activities. While these categories provide a conceptual basis for distinguishing among programs, actual programs in use often contain elements of more than on type.
