The number of faculty needed to teach in family practice residency programs has increased as student demand for training in the specialty has grown. Residency programs have recruited practicing family physicians or recent graduates of residency programs as physician faculty members. The multiple demands of faculty positions and difficult periods of orientation to effective faculty functioning have been significant obstacles to recruitment and retention of faculty. A statewide Family Practice Faculty Development Center has been formed and has received support from Texas medical school family practice departments and free-standing residency programs. The Faculty Development Center utilizes a multidisciplinary staff to offer a range of programs including fellowships, preceptorships, institutes, and workshops, and conducts research projects in the area of teaching family medicine in order to aid faculty in current and new residency programs in acquiring excellent teaching, research, and administrative skills.
随着学生对家庭医学专业培训需求的增加，家庭医学住院医师培训项目所需的教员数量也有所增加。住院医师培训项目招募了执业家庭医生或住院医师培训项目的应届毕业生作为医师教员。教员职位的多重要求以及适应有效教员职能的困难阶段，一直是招募和留住教员的重大障碍。一个全州范围的家庭医学教员发展中心已经成立，并得到了德克萨斯医学院家庭医学系和独立住院医师培训项目的支持。教员发展中心利用多学科工作人员提供一系列项目，包括奖学金、导师指导、研习会和工作坊，并开展家庭医学教学领域的研究项目，以帮助现有和新的住院医师培训项目中的教员获得出色的教学、研究和管理技能。
