Abstract
Abstract: Faculty development programs (FDPs) are essential for training clinicians and researchers to become effective educators. These programs are designed to enhance teaching skills and improve the overall quality of education delivered by faculty members. FDPs encompass a variety of formats, including organizational initiatives, fellowship programs, comprehensive programs tailored to local needs, workshops, seminars, continuing medical education, and individualized activities aimed at strengthening the multifaceted roles of educators. The FDPs have a positive impact of on faculty performance in training medical students. Regularly scheduled and timely FDPs are crucial for equipping clinicians and researchers to excel as medical educators.
