Abstract:
Introduction: Kobe University Hospital’s faculty development workshop was unattractive, and people attended it passively.
Methods: We attempted to improve the workshop so that faculty would want to attend it independently and proactively. In this report we summarize the changes in the workshop and report the results of questionnaires administered before (2008) and after (2012) the change.
Results: Overall contents of the faculty development workshop became more open, and such practices as the Kawakita Jiro method stopped being used. Overall scores for participant satisfaction improved significantly from 2008 to 2012, but the duration of the workshop did not change significantly.
Discussion: We improved the quality of the faculty development workshop and increased participant satisfaction. We should continue to improve the workshop through proper assessment.
