Types of faculty development programs.
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.
