Abstract

Faculty development practitioners should be encouraged to create a sustainable and accessible environment for capacity building in health professions education (HPE). Nine experts in the sub-Saharan African region followed two rounds of a modified Delphi process to achieve consensus on the components of an online health professions education faculty development programme. As a result, four components to consider in the development, implementation and evaluation of online faculty development programmes were identified: environmental, curricular, activities and research. These components support further research into developing a contextually relevant and sustainable online health professions education faculty development model in the region.
