- Abstract
Objective: To find out the perceptions of medical teachers regarding certification and master’s in health profession education. Methods: It’s a mixed-method study design. It was done in the Department of Pathology, Shifa College of Medicine which is a constituent college of Shifa Tameer-e- Millat University, from May 2021 to September 2021. In this study, data were collected using a survey questionnaire and a Focus group discussion. A focus group discussion was arranged and conducted in September 2021 comprising eight senior faculty members. A total of 41 members participated in this study. Results: The quantitative data were entered into the SPSS23 program and percentages were calculated. The focus group discussion was analyzed, and themes were generated. The study concluded a high satisfaction of participants with Faculty development programs (FDP). It was suggested that the content of FDP given the different roles of medical teachers should include teaching and non-teaching aspects like research, management, and leadership which should be equally stressed upon. Conclusions: Although long-duration faculty development programs imparted greater depth of knowledge, skills and attitude in health professionals and medical teachers if a format of FDP was to be made mandatory for all the medical teaching faculty than a shorter course, highlighting the basics of medical education and having a duration of six-month could be enforced.
