Consultation and Special Program Development

Rachel Levine, M.D., Director

Since 1990, we have co-developed and implemented more than 100 workshops and programs for Johns Hopkins and other institutions regionally, nationally and internationally. A major strength of our consultation service in special programs is our committment to creating self-sustaining programs that meet the current and future needs of our clients. Workshops are highly individualized to client needs through consultation during development of a special program and following implementation.

In addition to developing and implementing workshops, our team can support client efforts in the following ways:

• Facilitation of planning efforts for faculty development needs broadly
• Collaborative planning and implementation of skills development and team-building among faculty across interdisciplinary lines
• Development of a train-the-trainer approach , with the goal of enabling the client to continue faculty development efforts independently
• Follow-up, as desired

A primary consultant is identified to work on planning, implementation and follow-up. This consultant then creates a team of Johns Hopkins faculty facilitators to assist in program implementation. In addition, an on-site visit is recommended. This could include:

• meetings with those who are central to the faculty development efforts for the client in order to further assess institutional and participant needs for training and to continue to build a working relationship among all participants;
• a site visit to areas representative of the contexts for teaching among client faculty; or
• next-level planning.
