Welcome
With the increasing complexity of academic health science centers, it is very important that health sciences schools address the professional development needs of their faculty. Currently, there is no academic conference that specifically addresses the faculty development field for academic health science centers world-wide. We are hoping to fill this void with the 1st International Conference on Faculty Development in the Health Professions.
This website will be constantly updated with program info, abstract submission criteria, etc.
Make Toronto your destination for faculty development in May 2011. We look forward to seeing you then!
Sincerely Conference Co-Chairs,
