Innovative Programme Elements Add Value to a FAIMER Regional Institute Faculty Development Fellowship Model in Southern Africa
The Foundation for the Advancement of Medical Education and Research (FAIMER) is a US-based non-profit organisation committed to improving health professions education to improve global health.
FAIMER traditionally offers a two year fellowship programme; 2 residential and 3 distance learning sessions and an education innovation project in the fellow’s home institution. The focus is on education methods, leadership/management, scholarship and the development of an international community of health professions educators.
During the past 5 years, FAIMER has expanded the programme and established regional institutes in India[3], Brazil[1] and Southern Africa (SAFRI)[1]. We implemented the programme in Africa in 2008, introducing 5 innovations to the generic programme. SAFRI was created as an independent voluntary association to reflect the multinational intent of the programme.
Aim of project
To understand the impact of the innovations in the structure and implementation of the programme on its quality and the experience of the participants in it.
Conclusions
Faculty development programmes can significantly enhance their impact:
Be sensitive to the local political climate
Demonstrate wide ownership
Focus on developing a community of practice
Work within the professional time constraints of Fellows and faculty
Maximise learning opportunities by linking to other scholarly activities

Reinventing specialty training of physicians? Principles and challenges
In a world undergoing constant change, in the era of
globalisation, the training of medical professionals should
be under constant review so that it can be tailored to meet
the needs of this society in transition. This is all the more
true at times of economic uncertainty, such as the current
conditions, which have a direct impact on health services.
Professionals need new Competencies for new times. Over
the last decade initiatives have emerged in various Anglo-
Saxon countries which have defined a framework of basic
Competencies that all medical specialists should
demonstrate in their professional practice. In addition to
this, we must respond to the creation of the European
Higher Education Area which has implications for
specialised training. In Spain, training for medical specialists
was in need of an overhaul and the recently passed law
(Real Decreto 183/2008) will allow us to move forward and
implement, in medical education, initiatives and innovations
required in our medical centres, to respond to the new
society and bring us in line with international professional
education and practice. The way forward is a Competencybased
model for medical education with assessment of
these Competencies using simple instruments, validated and
accepted by all the stakeholders. The institutions involved
(hospitals, medical centres and other health care services)
should trial different approaches within the general
framework established by the current legislation and be
conscious of the duty they have to society as accredited
training organisations. Accordingly, they should consolidate
their teaching and learning structures and the various
different educational roles (Director of Studies, Tutors, and
other teaching positions), showing the leadership necessary
to allow proper implementation of their training
programmes. For this, the Spanish Autonomous Regions
must develop their own legislation regulating Medical
Specialty Training. So, medical professionals should receive
training, based on ethical values, behaviours and attitudes
that considers humanistic, scientific and technical factors,
developing an understanding of the scientific method;
ability to put it into practice; skills to manage complexity
and uncertainty; a command of scientific, technical and IT
terminology to facilitate independent learning; and a
capacity for initiative and teamwork, as well as skills for
dealing with people and for making an effective,
democratic contribution both within health organisations
and in the wider society.
Key words: Postgraduate Medical Education. Competencybased
Medical Education.
