Committee Composition

The committee consists of two tenured full professors, two tenured associate professors, three associate or full clinical professors, one assistant tenure-track professor and one assistant clinical track professor elected by the Assembly. The dean appoints one faculty member from any rank to serve as a member. Committee members will serve staggered three-year terms. The Assembly elects the chairperson and vice chairperson from among the members. The vice chairperson will become chairperson upon completion of the chairperson's term. Administrative support is provided by the Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs who serves as an ex-officio member. The Director of Curriculum and Instruction also serves as an ex officio member.

Standing Committee Charge

As stated in the Constitution and Bylaws, it is the responsibility of this committee to monitor and identify needs related to faculty professional career development including, but not limited to: teaching, research and patient care. In response to identified needs for faculty development, the committee develops strategies for the creation, implementation and assessment of programs to successfully address those issues. The committee works closely with the Offices of Education, Clinical Affairs and Research to carry out its charge.

Additional Charge from the Dean for 2009–2010

This year I am asking the Faculty Development Committee to also complete the following:

Continue to monitor the implementation and performance of the junior faculty mentoring program and expand the scope of the review to include both tenure-accruing and clinical track faculty members.
Explore the issues involved in the continued development of the careers of the tenured associate professors to full professor status and define strategies to address those issues where feasible.
Discuss the need to promote mid-career revitalization for senior faculty and options to address this issue.
Continue to identify, institute and evaluate faculty development initiatives for the fall and spring open weeks as well as the potential for development at various times throughout the year.
Provide advice and information to the Office of Faculty Affairs on faculty development issues.

This year, each standing faculty committee will be charged with reviewing relevant outcome measures from the college strategic plan. The measures which should be reviewed by the Faculty Development Committee include:

Annual profile (number, percentage) of salaried faculty in terms of age, race/ethnicity, gender and rank.
Number and percentage of new women and under-represented minority salaried faculty hired each fiscal year by race/ethnicity, gender and rank.
Percent turnover/year and analysis of reasons for leaving.
Faculty satisfaction (biennial UF survey)
Faculty satisfaction with orientation and training.

The committee should evaluate performance on these measures and when appropriate, action plans for improvement should be instituted using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. The PDCA is the college’s model for outcomes assessment and evaluation.

Individual Faculty Member Responsibilities

Members of this committee are expected to attend a monthly meeting of the full committee lasting 1-2 hours. Additionally, members may be asked to assist with subgroup or project work at the chairperson’s discretion.

Estimated time commitment: 2-4 hours per month.

A GroupWise distribution of this committee is located in GroupWise at %FAC_DEV_COMM.

Schedule of Meetings

The Faculty Development Committee meets from 12:15–1:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
