The Case for Revamping New Faculty Orientation: Integrating Case-Based Learning Into Faculty Onboarding
Introduction New faculty orientation (NFO) for onboarding faculty members is replete with critical information and resources. Most NFO sessions are facilitated through lecture-based slide presentations. We employed a case-based learning (CBL) format to promote learner engagement through active use o...
