Faculty development and career success in clinical teaching.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To explore the effectiveness of overall faculty development (FD) programs in terms of three indicators of successful careers of clinical teachers (CTs): positive feedback (on personality traits or teaching skills) from students, teaching awards, and scholarly publications.

Methods

Data on student feedback, number of teaching awards, number of scholarly publications, and sum of FD participation hours in a teaching hospital with 23 clinical departments and 623 clinical faculty members (2019-2021) were collected and analyzed using Spearman's rank-order correlation coefficient (r_s) and independent-samples t-tests (with Welch's correction where appropriate).

Results

The sum of FD hours was significantly associated with positive feedback from students
