Faculty Handbook FACULTY DEVELOPMENT The School of Medicine is committed to assisting individual faculty in developing their ability to function as effective educators. Toward this end, the Department of Medical Education and the Office of Academic Affairs serve as effective resources for organization of laboratory exercises, construction and evaluation of examinations, and other educational resources and materials. Consultative support is also available to provide a more effective use of audiovisual material and lectures, use of seminars in teaching, introduction of clinical decision making into the curriculum, development of criterion reference examinations, and development and use of computers in the educational process for both self instruction and testing. In addition, based on existing faculty needs, periodic seminars are devoted to issues felt to be of particular concern. On an individual basis, based on availability of funds, individual faculty who function as course directors may attend seminars related to developing their effectiveness as educators. |
