What Keeps Faculty Coming Back? Factors Associated with Continued Pursuit of Faculty Development.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Faculty development benefits clinician-educators, yet little is known about what influences clinical faculty to pursue development as educators. To optimize faculty development attendance at a federal medical school with geographically dispersed teaching hospitals, we assessed how demographic and workshop factors impacted attendance by comparing physician faculty who attended faculty development on a single day with those returning any future day.

Materials and methods

We conducted a retrospective review of our faculty development website database for attendee, instructor, and workshop factors among physicians attending their first workshop in 2014-2022. We employed a multivariate model to determine a relative return ratio (RRR) and evaluate independent factors
