Abstract
Background: The role of faculty in academic health care centers is changing rapidly. Identifying and examining personal teaching beliefs and values can help faculty members improve their performance and change the way in which they view their roles as educators. Description: A structured, 2-h workshop is detailed in this paper. It involves individual reflection, facilitated small group dialogue, and large group discussion. Expected outcomes of the workshop are a start on a teaching philosophy for inclusion in a faculty teaching portfolio, along with a personal metaphor for teaching. Evaluation: This workshop has been offered nine times with both campus faculty and community preceptors. Both qualitative and quantitative measures are detailed that demonstrate its value. Conclusions: Faculty members should be provided with structured opportunities to reflect on evolving issues in medical education. This workshop on teaching beliefs is one effective way of challenging faculty to reexamine personal values.
