Abstract
Faculty development plays a critical role in enhancing teaching effectiveness and promoting continuous professional growth supporting educators in veterinary medicine. However, participation is often limited due to barriers such as time constraints, misconceptions about faculty development, and a perceived lack of institutional recognition. This article presents a continuum of faculty development activities designed to address the unique challenges faced by veterinary medicine faculty, offering a variety of initiatives that cater to faculty at all levels to provide multiple avenues for engagement. By intentionally emphasizing flexibility, accessibility, and personalization, this model offers a spectrum of engagement opportunities that fosters a culture of continuous improvement, collaboration, and recognition in veterinary education. The activities described here may also serve as a model for other veterinary schools seeking to enhance their faculty development efforts.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Veterinary Medical Education (JVME) is the peer-reviewed scholarly journal of the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC). As an internationally distributed journal, JVME provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, research, and discoveries about veterinary medical education. This exchange benefits veterinary faculty, students, and the veterinary profession as a whole by preparing veterinarians to better perform their professional activities and to meet the needs of society.
The journal’s areas of focus include best practices and educational methods in veterinary education; recruitment, training, and mentoring of students at all levels of education, including undergraduate, graduate, veterinary technology, and continuing education; clinical instruction and assessment; institutional policy; and other challenges and issues faced by veterinary educators domestically and internationally. Veterinary faculty of all countries are encouraged to participate as contributors, reviewers, and institutional representatives.
