Introduction: 
Faculty development (FD) is a critical strategy that supports faculty members performing their varying roles in health professions education (HPE). FD should be programmatic and conducted systematically to provide longitudinal support for educators.  However, the consistency and effectiveness of FD often depends on organizational factors.  Therefore, while faculty developers need to employ various FD methods, to be successful they also need deeper understanding of the organizational factors affecting FD practice.
This webinar presents two prominent scholars who will explore FD using Bolman and Deal’s four frames of organizations, focusing on symbolic, political, structural and human resource factors that influenced FD practice in the Canadian setting. The findings highlight the role of the FD unit, the importance of FD visibility, the responsive expansion of FD practice, and the role leadership and policy can have on human resources for FD.  

Educational Needs or Gaps to be Addressed:
FD should be programmatic and conducted systematically to provide longitudinal support for educators.  However, the consistency and effectiveness of FD often depends on organizational factors.  Therefore, while faculty developers need to employ various FD methods, to be successful they also need deeper understanding of the organizational factors affecting FD practice.

Aim/Learning Objectives:
 In this webinar the four frames of organizations, focusing on symbolic, political, structural and human resource factors in FD context will be discussed.  

Format and Interactivity:
Journal Club with QA session. Each presenter will present for 15-20 minutes and followed by discussion and QA for 20-30 minutes. During the presentation, the AMEE FacDev committee team will help to moderate the chatroom.

Anticipated Outcomes:
By the end of this journal club, the participants are expected to be able to explain the role of the FD unit, the importance of FD visibility, the responsive expansion of FD practice, and the role leadership and policy can have on human resources for FD.
