Faculty Development Program for Teachers of Internationally Educated Health Care Professionals
The focus of this initiative was to design and implement a national faculty development program for individuals involved in the education of internationally educated health care professionals (e.g. teachers, clinical supervisors, program directors and educational administrators).
