  14. State of Faculty Development Programs

  15. Chain of Evidence for Effective Faculty Development

  16. Four Levels for Evaluating Faculty Development Programs Kirkpatrick DL. Evaluating training programs: the four levels. San Francisco: Berrett-Koehler, 1994

  17. Strategies for Measuring Effectiveness of Faculty Development Programs Hendricson, WD, Anderson, E, et al. (2007). Does Faculty Development Enhance Teaching Effectiveness? Journal of Dental Education, 71(12), 1513-1533.

  18. Strategies for Measuring Effectiveness of Faculty Development Programs

  19. Objective Structured Teaching Exam (OSTE) McAndrew, M, Eidtson, WH, et al. (2012). Creating an objective structured teaching examination to evaluate a dental faculty development program. Journal of Dental Education, 76(4), 461-71.

  20. Students Learn More? Teach teachers to teach patient communication skills • “The faculty development programme did not increase the number of communication skills recognised by supervisors, but was effective in increasing the number of communication issues discussed interactively in [student] feedback sessions.” JunodPerron, N, Nendas, M, et al. (2014). Impact of postgraduate training on communication skills teaching: a controlled study. BMC Medical Education, 24(1), 80.

  21. Students Learn More? Meta-analysis (300+ studies) • Three demonstrated changes in student behavior • Recommendation: Higher-level research designs needed to tie faculty development to student/patient outcomes Steinert, Y, Mann, K, et al. (2006). A systematic review of faculty development initiatives designed to improve teaching effectiveness in medical education: BEME Guide No 8. Medical Teacher, 28(6), 497-526.

  22. Make better teachers? We think so… • 59 faculty trained in 8 programs • Program: • 5 group sessions • Readings • Reflection papers • Final project McAndrew, M, Motwaly, S & Kamens, TE. (2013). Long-term follow-up of a dental faculty development program. Journal of Dental Education, 77(6), 716-22.

  23. Short- & Long-term Effectiveness • Pre-program: Self-assess teaching abilities • Post-program: Program satisfaction survey • Follow-up Survey: Participants actively teaching (69%) • 97% recommend the program to colleagues • 94% said participation led to a greater likelihood of conferring with peers about teaching issues • 79% had increased their teaching responsibilities • 62% said presentation skills improved • Retention (81%) exceeds national retention rate for dental faculty McAndrew, M, Motwaly, S & Kamens, TE. (2013). Long-term follow-up of a dental faculty development program. Journal of Dental Education, 77(6), 716-22.

  24. Improved Patient Health?? Program: • Participate in patient skills improvement project • Observing and describing a patient process from the patient's perspective • Working in team to apply in patient care Results: • Students improved skills, but skills not integrated beyond the situation practiced • Students’ improved skills unknown to clinical faculty KyrkjebØ, JM (2006). Teaching quality improvement in the classroom and clinic. Getting it wrong and getting it right. The Journal of Nursing Education, 45(3), 109-16.
