Provincial Faculty Development Initiative

The Vision for the Department of Family Medicine is to be acknowledged for its excellence in primary care delivery, education, and research. This includes being recognized as valued partners and opinion leaders in family medicine and primary care within Queen's, in our communities, and internationally. The Department of Family Medicine has taken the lead and acquired $825,000 in funding from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MoHLTC) and the Physician Services Committee to undertake a collaborative faculty development project. This initiative was designed to ensure that new community family physician faculty are well supported through a province-wide structure focused on professional development, and to build the capacity of our Distributed Medical Education Faculty of Family Physicians to increase the number of qualified community teachers across Ontario. It is imperative that we avoid a lag time by helping new teachers acquire core skills as soon as they assume teaching responsibilities, in recognition of the need for rapid implementation of the Phase Two Expansion already underway, and to ensure that experienced faculty members develop the skills to effectively mentor new teachers. This 18 month project is designed to achieve this goal.
