Supporting and Developing Clinical Faculty
Linlea Armstrong and Heather Buckley
We were funded by the Strategic Investment Fund (SIF) to develop Actionable recommendations for UBC to better support and develop clinical faculty. We completed the year of study, and submitted our report September 30, 2020.
Two objectives of the UBC Faculty of Medicine’s (FoM) current Strategic Plan, Building the Future, are to embed wellbeing and leadership development to improve personal and collective effectiveness and to ensure strategic faculty renewal to enable excellence in education and research. Clinical faculty are key stakeholders to advancing these strategic objectives. To best achieve these objectives, this Strategic Investment Fund (SIF) project used a design-based thinking methodology developed by Stanford’s Hasso Plattner Institute of Design to better understand how UBC can best support and develop wellness and leadership among clinical faculty.
This approach involved empathizing with clinical faculty, defining experiences and observations into problem or opportunity statements, and ideating possible actions for UBC. We also conducted a literature review and internal and external environmental scans, and engaged with multiple stakeholders through interviews to further build and refine our understandings. We then conducted three virtual hackathons (“HackDevs”) to generate more ideas and solutions that could help improve these identified needs.
After analyzing the discussions and findings, we then developed a series of actionable recommendations for UBC to better support and develop clinical faculty. This report offers a total of 19 recommendations for the FoM to consider for implementation, listed in Section 4. Ten additional possible actions were developed by the clinical faculty and staff that participated in our hackathons. The webinar will discuss the work, review the recommendations, and invite attendees to identify priority recommendations from these for the FoM implement.
