Prospective, ongoing faculty development programs are important in the initial orientation and short- and long-term development of faculty in higher education. Pharmacy practice faculty are likely to benefit from a comprehensive faculty development program due to the complex nature of their positions, incomplete training in select areas, and multiple demands on their time. The need for faculty development programs is supported by the increased need for pharmacy practice faculty due to the increased number of colleges and schools of pharmacy, expanding enrollment in existing colleges and schools, and loss of existing senior faculty to retirement or other opportunities within or outside the academy. This White Paper describes a comprehensive faculty development program that is designed to enhance the satisfaction, retention, and productivity of new and existing pharmacy practice faculty. A comprehensive faculty development program will facilitate growth throughout a faculty member's career in pertinent areas. The structure of such a program includes an orientation program to provide an overview of responsibilities and abilities, a mentoring program to provide one-on-one guidance from a mentor, and a sustained faculty development program to provide targeted development based on individual and career needs. The content areas to be covered in each component include the institution (e.g., culture, structure, roles, responsibilities), student-related activities, teaching abilities, scholarship and research abilities, practice abilities and the practice site, and professional abilities (e.g., leadership, career planning, balancing responsibilities). A general framework for a comprehensive pharmacy practice faculty development program is provided to guide each college, school, department, and division in the design and delivery of a program that meets the needs and desires of the institution and its faculty.
前瞻性的、持续进行的教师发展项目对于高等教育教师的初始入职培训以及短期和长期发展至关重要。药学实践教师因其职位的复杂性、某些领域培训的不完整性以及时间上的多重要求，可能会从全面的教师发展项目中受益。由于药学院校数量的增加、现有院校招生规模的扩大以及现有资深教师因退休或院校内外其他机会流失导致对药学实践教师的需求增加，这也凸显了教师发展项目的必要性。本白皮书描述了一个全面的教师发展项目，旨在提高新入职和在职药学实践教师的满意度、留任率和工作效率。一个全面的教师发展项目将促进教师在其职业生涯相关领域的成长。该项目的结构包括一个入职培训项目，以概述职责和能力；一个导师指导项目，由导师提供一对一的指导；以及一个持续的教师发展项目，根据个人和职业需求提供有针对性的发展。每个组成部分涵盖的内容领域包括机构（如文化、结构、角色、职责）、与学生相关的活动、教学能力、学术和研究能力、实践能力及实践场所，以及专业能力（如领导力、职业规划、平衡职责）。提供了一个全面的药学实践教师发展项目的总体框架，以指导各学院、学校、系和部门设计和实施满足机构及其教师需求和愿望的项目。
