Abstract

Faculty development is essential to prepare novice nurse educators for their teaching role and to keep experienced faculty up to date with new educational approaches. This article describes a comprehensive and cost-effective program for faculty development that builds on the expertise of current faculty to educate, guide, and support colleagues, and foster their career development. The faculty development program includes an annual clinical faculty workshop; monthly face-to-face and online educational programs; a formal mentoring program for novice teachers and faculty members new to the school; programs for professional and career development; and a website for faculty orientation and continued learning.
