Designing a Program for Learning Health Professions Education / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

This paper outlines the essentials that each organizer of Faculty and Staff Development (FSD) programs in Health Professions Education should focus on when designing a program. The essentials are as follows the reasons for studying at FDS, the place of practice, content, participants, peers, location, methods, timing, and evidence of learning. These will also help FSD participants think about their perspectives when they choose to participate in the program. It is hoped that more people will get involved in Health Professions Education to increase their knowledge and spice up their daily teaching practice. It is also hoped that those who complete the course will become Faculty Developers in their own areas and professions, revitalizing health professions education and cooperatively increasing the presence of Japanese Health Professions Education.
