Abstract
VA and non-VA Academic Medical Centers (AMCs) serve as training environments for learners from many different professions and academic affiliates, including regional medical campuses. Faculty members at these AMCs need programming to help create and enhance the educational environment for learners. In this paper, we provide a framework for AMCs to develop and implement faculty development programming and provide a case example of how this programming was implemented at one VA AMC. It is the hope that this framework and programming can be adopted by other AMCs to provide faculty members with the programming needed to sustain high quality training environments.
