A small nonprofit private college with limited resources and a high proportion of junior faculty developed a nontraditional external faculty mentor program in the summer of 2011 in response to the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) faculty survey data regarding the professional development needs of pharmacy faculty members. Experienced faculty members with national reputations from other colleges and schools of pharmacy were hired as consultants to serve as mentors for assigned faculty members. Program goals were to provide directed, individual mentorship for pharmacy practice and basic science faculty members, expand peer review of faculty teaching prowess, and enhance monthly faculty development programming. The latter was based upon the specific needs assessment of the faculty. Program outcomes reported will include faculty satisfaction (AACP faculty survey data) changes over time, achievement of board certification for clinical faculty members and other credentialing, and other benchmarks, eg, publications, grant funding, service engagement (site development, professional organizations), after the implementation of the nontraditional faculty-mentoring program.
一所资源有限且初级教员比例较高的小型非营利性私立学院,根据美国药学院协会(AACP)关于药学教员专业发展需求的教员调查数据,于2011年夏天制定了一项非传统的外部教员指导计划。聘请了来自其他药学院校且享有全国声誉的经验丰富的教员担任顾问,为指定的教员提供指导。该计划的目标是为药学实践和基础科学教员提供有针对性的个人指导,扩大对教员教学能力的同行评审,并加强每月的教员发展规划。后者基于对教员的具体需求评估。报告的计划成果将包括随着时间推移教员满意度(AACP教员调查数据)的变化、临床教员获得董事会认证及其他资质认证的情况,以及在实施非传统教员指导计划后的其他基准,如出版物、资助资金、服务参与(站点开发、专业组织)等。
