N2 - Physicians are often tasked to develop and lead collaborative, program development efforts but many have limited formal training. We designed and evaluated a professional development workshop series to provide our faculty members with a framework and tools for the development of clinical programs: the Program Development Practicum (PDP). Faculty identified a clinical program of focus and for each clinical program identified, a program proposal, SBAR communication (situation, background, assessment, recommendation), executive summary, 1-min elevator pitch, and budget was developed. Five clinical programs were identified for improvement including: Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Celiac Disease, Transition of Care, Integrative Health Clinic, and Endoscopic Procedures. At the conclusion of the PDP, these programs were presented to key hospital leaders and resulted in an investment of resource support. Faculty also reported increased understanding of overall program development with the largest gains in knowledge in proposal writing and marketing. Overall, the PDP allowed for a revamp of key clinical services and faculty clarity on resource availability and expectations. We plan to continue with annual engagement of hospital leaders to share updates.
