Applied insights for using Generative Artificial Intelligence in Faculty Development in Health Professions Education.

Introduction: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has rapidly become accessible to health professions educators and learners, creating both opportunities and new responsibilities for faculty development (FD). GenAI can help draft, adapt, and translate educational materials, and can assist faculty developers as a "co-developer." However, GenAI outputs require human oversight, and FD leaders must actively manage accuracy, privacy/confidentiality, equity/fairness, and sustainability concerns. This article offers a perspective on how GenAI can be leveraged as a co-developer in FD by drawing on emerging literature and discussion points from a workshop at the Applied insights: We provide eight applied insights, organised across key phases of FD work (planning, content creation, delivery, and evaluation). These insights highlight how faculty developers can: Conclusions: When used responsibly, GenAI can augment FD and help educators work more efficiently without reducing the central role of human judgment, ethics, and contextual expertise. Faculty developers can increase benefits and reduce harms by making their governance explicit, modelling prompt literacy, and embedding quality assurance/quality improvement cycles.
