MISSION:

The APA Faculty Development Special Interest Group
(FacDevSIG) exists to provide a professional home for pediatric medical educators interested in faculty development. Our focus is on the members' roles as faculty developers, not merely the members' own personal faculty development.

June 2010 Newsletter Article

The APA Faculty Development SIG had a joint meeting with the Division Directors' SIG in Vancouver. The meeting was quite successful and we appreciate all who turned out. The focus of the meeting was a discussion on tools that are available for faculty to develop individual faculty development plans (IFDPs).

IFDPs are documents that faculty create and share with supervisors to help them plan and direct their activities during the academic year. Such documents benefit both staff and division heads as they try to navigate the academic environment. This is particularly important for junior faculty.

The Faculty Development SIG is working with the Division Directors' SIG to post some helpful guidance and forms for faculty and division heads to use. Look for materials soon at both our websites on the APA webpage.

APA Educational Scholars Program

The mission of the APA Educational Scholars Program is to assist the membership in developing themselves as productive, advancing and fulfilled faculty members and to increase the quality, status and visibility of pediatric educators in academia. The program operates the Educational Scholars Program

Six-Domains of Faculty Development.

The career development needs of most academic pediatric faculty members fall into six domains. For each domain, we have provided a set of common faculty development goals. We recommend that APA members review and adapt the goal sets to create their own plans for personal career development.

• Education
• Research
• Advocacy and Health Policy
• Communications/Technology
• Leadership/Administration
• Career Development
