Program for Faculty Development (PFD)

Welcome Message
from Dr. Denise Marshall, Assistant Dean

Denise Marshall

The Program for Faculty Development (PFD) is dedicated to promoting teaching and learning in the Faculty of Health Sciences, McMaster University. We offer faculty/staff/residents and external visitors various programs and workshops aimed at improving teaching effectiveness. We work with inter-professional academic units to assist with their curriculum and course development activities, and we offer on-site consultations.

The PFD endeavours to be a welcoming place for all who value teaching and learning. We welcome and encourage visitors to drop in any time to learn about our offerings.

On behalf of our PFD team, I invite you to take a few moments to explore our website and have an enjoyable visit.
