| Abstract: | Faculty development across the academic career is essential to support successful, diverse, engaged faculty and institutional excellence. This article presents a comprehensive model of faculty development across all career stages, centering equity for women and historically underrepresented faculty. Four intersecting cornerstones comprise the model: professional development, multifaceted mentorship, institutional commitment, and community building. Specific examples of program implementation, resulting in numerous positive outcomes, are highlighted. The holistic faculty development approach is replicable, universally applicable, and can be flexibly applied. Keys to implementation include (1) build infrastructure, (2) secure funding, (3) engage institutional leadership, (4) establish and leverage trusted relationships, and (5) rigorous evaluation. |
