Developing research skills for medical school faculty.
The growth of family medicine as an academic discipline is closely linked to its capacity to generate new knowledge and research.

This paper reviews what is known about preparing faculty for research roles and suggests steps that the profession and individuals can take to strengthen our research capacity.
