Dear Dr. Mader, thank you for your article. I would like to add another idea, adding Faculty Development as a standing agenda item onto a faculty meeting agenda. I have been implementing “educational appetizers” of about 5-10 minute length into our faculty meetings, and so far it has been a continuous effort of faculty development in miniature.
