Abstract

The present study proposed a new instrument for the assessment of the current faculty development programs at Iranian medical universities. Although the literature concerning the subject of faculty development activities has already identified strengths and weakness of such programs, it is still questionable whether these activities can be assessed using a pedagogical and managerial comprehensive approach. Therefore, it was determined to develop an instrument to examine faculty development activities that address all components of programs from planning and implementing to evaluating phases, with the possibility of utilizing this instrument as a tool to assess faculty development activities.
