Abstrakt:	Background Maintaining the quality of teaching across India is a challenge. Teachers are equally responsible for patient care and administration. The importance of training medical teachers under the various faculty development programs (FDPs) is well accepted. A mechanism to evaluate the competencies acquired by medical teachers after attending FDPs becomes equally important. In the present study, we evaluate the impact of the various FDPs on medical teachers. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted for one year among 50 medical teachers attending FDPs. Ethical clearance was taken from the Institutional Ethical Committee. For quantitative data collection, the questionnaire was validated by the Scientific Approval Committee of the Institute. The study questionnaire was filled in by the participants just before and three months after attending FDPs. For qualitative data collection, in-depth Interviews (IDIs) using the Kirkpatrick model of learning evaluation were conducted. Descriptive statistics were presented as frequencies and percentages. The thematic areas of self-efficacy and teaching competency before and after FDPs were tested using the chi-square test. P-values <0.05 were considered significant. Results There was a significant increase in self-efficacy (300 vs. 426, p   = <0.0001) and teaching competency (456 vs. 608, p = <0.0001) in the domains of teaching difficult students and motivating students for innovative projects. Improvement in communication skills and ability to engage the students were noteworthy in teaching competency. IDIs revealed that FDPs are essential for the efficient delivery of the competency-based medical curriculum. Conclusions FDPs play a key role in bringing about significant improvement in generating self-efficacy and teaching competencies among medical teachers. FDPs may be incorporated into the postgraduate medical curriculum itself. Competing Interests: Human subjects: Consent was obtained or waived by all participants in this study.
