Abstract
Most medical teachers have little or no preparation for their responsibilities as teachers. A growing number in the United States, however, are expressing an interest in enhancing their teaching skills and are attending faculty development programmes being offered by their own medical schools and by various professional organizations. This article describes those characteristics of effective faculty development programmes which are most logically defensible.Keywords
