Developing and implementing a faculty development curriculum for Japanese family medicine residency faculty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the increase in family medicine residency in Japan, there are only a few structured faculty development (FD) programs. The objective of this project was to construct a consensus on core competencies of faculty to develop a faculty development curriculum in a Japanese family medicine context.

Methods

In 2015, a private FD initiative in the Mie University initiated a curriculum development in collaboration with FD fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh. A literature review and subsequent Delphi process were conducted for core competency development. Based on the core competency list, we designed and implemented a 2-year part-time FD curriculum from 2016. A course evaluation using pre-post confidence level was held during March 2017.
