- Abstract
Introduction: It is critical to define an exact domain for faculty development programs (FDPs) to aid medical lecturers' personal and professional development. However, it is uncertain whether such a domain exists in Malaysia. This research aims to propose FDPs domains and incorporate the findings into a preliminary framework for FDPs in public Malaysian medical schools. Methods: A total of 30 respondents participated in this study using a criterion-i sampling strategy. Using a qualitative approach, the data was gathered through relevant literature searches and focus group discussions and then distributed to experts for consensus using a three-round Delphi technique. Inductive thematic analysis technique was utilised to analyse the data using ATLAS-ti software. Inclusion criteria: medical lecturer with at least five years of experience; experienced with FDPs and have participated in at least one FDPs. Results: The result shows nine domains with 19 sub-domains; student management (1 sub-domain), curriculum management (2 sub-domains), e-learning, (without sub-domain) teaching and learning method (6 sub-domains), leadership (1sub-domain), research (2 sub-domains), assessment (3 sub-domains), communication (2 sub-domains) and program evaluation (2 sub-domains). Following the validation of the framework, the findings were incorporated into a preliminary framework known as the medical lecturers FDPs, and a preliminary FDPs domain was agreed upon. Conclusion: As a result, this will be an effective instrument for guiding FDP service providers in the development of FDPs strategies for medical lecturers.
