2024 ASM Conference for Undergraduate Educators

Calls for evidence-based teaching have provided educators with opportunities to develop skills and resources. However, faculty may not be aware of opportunities or have limited training at their institutions. Fellowships are important in bridging the potential gaps in educational training and a critical aspect to increasing and maintaining faculty engagement. As an added bonus, faculty also expand their professional networks by participating in fellowships, allowing for a supportive experience that continues to grow. In this interactive workshop, we explore the growing number of faculty development fellowship opportunities and where to find them. Participants will learn about opportunities for professional development through examples and exploration of websites. We will engage participants by discussing the importance of faculty development and collaborations in reenergizing and preventing burnout. Participants will search for resources to help them take advantage of professional development opportunities, connect with other scholars, and share their experiences.
