the reform of health professions education. However, individuals often assume these

responsibilities are based on their professional competence, without preparation for

the roles of the teacher and without the broad support of a community of practice.

Systematic faculty development, along with active participation in networks and

consortia, is central to addressing these challenges and this book provides a much

needed resource to support such efforts.

In Chapters 1 and 2, the authors offer an important and comprehensive framework

for the competencies of teachers built around the roles they are expected to fill. This

approach is consistent with the wider movement toward competency-based education,

and it serves as a basis for comprehensive programs of faculty development and

teacher assessment.

In the remaining chapters the authors populate this framework with practical information that will support teachers on their journey to excellence. Historically, the primary

role of the teacher has been to provide information to students. Chapters 3 and 4

address this traditional role while reflecting the fact that the focus of education has

shifted away from teaching and towards learning. These chapters underscore the

notion that the learner-centric teacher must be able to curate information, to act as

a coach, to facilitate and identify learning opportunities, and to mentor students on

the path to their learning goals.
