New faculty in family medicine face unique challenges navigating medical student education, residency education, and research realms. Family medicine departments often struggle to provide a comprehensive orientation for new faculty with a sustainable model for continuing faculty development. The Group on New Faculty will welcome new faculty to academic family medicine, providing guidance on faculty development, mentorship, coaching, and interprofessional teamwork opportunities. Presenters will facilitate small-group discussions around common challenges, fundamental resources, performance feedback, and ongoing development needs, including toolkit resources developed after feedback from annual sessions presented 2011-2014. A panel of new and veteran faculty members will present mentorship and coaching styles for seeking adequate support, take questions and offer advice, including guidance on establishing an educator portfolio. Distinguishing coaching styles and mentorship opportunities is a crucial component of faculty development, particularly with pressing need for collaborative work, project completion, and scholarly activity products. Attendees will be oriented to a toolkit to share with home institutions for other new faculty. FMDRL_ID: 5468#STFMAnnualSpringConference #2015 #Conferences
