MacPFD has transformed the ways in which we support and build the skills of faculty members and senior trainees who teach and mentor our students by transitioning all development offerings to online learning opportunities. In the last year we have provided open access to more than 3,000 faculty members and guests to over 100 digital events including webinars, conferences, podcasts, articles, and video content. We have 7 teams with over 50 faculty member volunteers developing new content and online training opportunities.
Have you joined one of our events this past year? Perhaps youβve listened to our Spark podcast? Viewed one of our videos on YouTube? We need your help to keep creating this incredible content, and keeping it free to the public! Interested in helping?
When you make a gift, you will join the effort to inspire the development of teaching and learning and allow our researchers, scholars, leaders, and clinicians to achieve success as educators. Your gift will support MacPFD to continue to generate new freely available events and maintain an open access digital library.

Q: Based on your experiences, what advice would you give an early career scientist who wishes to work in the same area that you do?
A: Find and value strong mentors.
Q: What are some of the most common challenges of starting a program of research and how can these be overcome?
A: Sometimes it can be difficult to find allies or co-applicants, depending on your field. This can be overcome through approaches such as discussions with mentors who can introduce you to others, going to conferences, workshops and networking events and making a point of meeting others, or cold-calling potential collaborators. Don't be afraid of cold-calling potential collaborators and asking them to go for a walk or a coffee. I've met wonderful collaborators this way and those who are not interested say no or don't call back.
Q: What determines the impact of the program and what are its key performance indicators?
A: This is a hard one... I think that the impact can be measured with the reach of your outputs. There are the obvious metrics such as impact factor, number of downloads (of articles), number of citations etc., but what I find most meaningful that tells me that my work is meaningful or has reached people is when students or researchers email me directly to ask something about my work or an article I have put out. |
