Mission. The mission of the APA Educational Scholars Program (FDP) is to
assist the membership in developing themselves as productive,
advancing and fulfilled faculty members and to increase the
quality, status and visibility of pediatric educators in
academia.
Goals.
1.
Faculty Development Goals. To develop and disseminate an organized curriculum that
can provide a foundation for systematically planned faculty
development activities in the APA.
Six-Domains of Faculty Development.
The career development needs of most academic pediatric faculty members fall into six domains. For each domain, we have provided a set of common faculty development goals. We recommend that APA members review and adapt the goal sets to create their own plans for personal career development.
