Abstract
Faculty development (FD) is a best practice in health professions education (HPE) and a requirement of accreditation agencies. While FD standards are similar across professions, HPE programs often meet FD needs via program-specific offerings. This approach may duplicate institutional efforts and pose challenges for small programs. It also doesn't address goals related to interprofessional (IP) learning, increasingly emphasized in HPE. In this Monograph, we share strategies and outcomes related to the use of an IP lens and multi-program accreditation standards to enhance FD in HPE. Strategies include creation of an IP planning committee, analysis and integration of multi-program accreditation standards, interprofessional workshop reviews, and outreach to IP education leaders across the healthcare system. The approach described is broadly transferrable across settings.

期刊介绍:
Medical Science Educator is the successor of the journal JIAMSE. It is the peer-reviewed publication of the International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE). The Journal offers all who teach in healthcare the most current information to succeed in their task by publishing scholarly activities, opinions, and resources in medical science education. Published articles focus on teaching the sciences fundamental to modern medicine and health, and include basic science education, clinical teaching, and the use of modern education technologies. The Journal provides the readership a better understanding of teaching and learning techniques in order to advance medical science education.
