Abstract

The issues and challenges related to the development of faculty for the teaching role are described in seven broad areas: the multi-dimensional roles of health professionals; attitudes towards teaching; conflicting opportunities; the shortage of teachers; the increased demand for physicians, nurses and midwives; developing health professionals for a teaching role; and rewards for teaching. These seven issues and challenges have been discussed using Steinert et al.'s (1) conceptual framework. The major problem is that there is an absolute shortage of medical educators, and this is a limiting factor in terms of the scaling up of health-professional education.
