Abstract
in English, French

Faculty development programs should offer transformative resources and prioritize the needs of the faculty. If faculty face difficulty in accessing such programs, the potential impact of the resources may be limited. To alleviate such issues, we designed a faculty development program that is available to anyone at any time in any configuration. By allowing faculty to choose from a diverse range of medical education topics based on their interests and needs, they may promptly apply crucial concepts in their teaching and education leadership roles. Faculty members can engage in personalized professional development, enhance their teaching practices, and ultimately foster their professional growth. Also, program coordinators and administrators can seamlessly integrate our resources into any existing faculty development program, serving as self-study materials, resources for existing programs, or a stand-alone curriculum with high accessibility, versatility, and ease of use.

Les programmes de développement du corps professoral doivent offrir des ressources transformatrices et donner la priorité aux besoins des enseignants. Si ces derniers ont des difficultés à accéder à ces programmes, l’impact potentiel des ressources peut être limité. Pour y remédier, nous avons conçu un programme de développement du corps professoral accessible à tous, à tout moment et dans n'importe quelle configuration. En permettant aux enseignants de choisir parmi une gamme variée de sujets relatifs à l'enseignement médical en fonction de leurs intérêts et de leurs besoins, ils peuvent rapidement mettre en pratique des concepts cruciaux dans leur rôle d'enseignant et de responsable de l'enseignement. Les membres du corps enseignant peuvent s'engager dans un développement professionnel personnalisé, améliorer leurs pratiques d'enseignement et, en fin de compte, favoriser leur croissance professionnelle. En outre, les coordonnateurs et administrateurs de programmes peuvent aisément intégrer nos ressources dans n'importe quel programme existant de formation du corps enseignant, en tant qu’outil d’auto-apprentissage, de ressources pour les programmes existants, ou de programme autonome avec une grande accessibilité, polyvalence et facilité d'utilisation.
