About CBFP

Community-Based Faculty Program

As a predominantly rural state, limited access to healthcare is a major issue. The University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center has made a major commitment to address these health care needs by initiating a program with community-based faculty to serve as mentors, role models and teachers for all health professions students. The Community-Based Faculty Program (CBFP) is designed to meet the needs of preceptors through opportunities for continued professional growth and integration into the teaching process.

Goals

To strengthen the ties between community-based health care clinicians and the university, the Community-Based Faculty Program will:

More fully integrate community-based faculty into the university's activities and academic processes.

Provide greater access to resources that will support their roles as teachers.

Strengthen communications between the universities and community-based faculty.

Build on the university's recognition of community-based faculty.

Increase the community-based faculty's participation in the decision-making process.

Partnership

The program will succeed as a result of the cooperation among the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center, the Area Health Education Centers (AHECs), community-based faculty and students.
