		On behalf of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), The Minority Faculty Development Leadership Summit: “A National Call to Action” will provide grant program managers and officers, as well as institutional faculty and administrators, with a unique opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed Minority Faculty Development Model. The Minority Faculty Development Model will be used by health professions schools to train, recruit, and retain under-represented minority faculty. The 3 major areas in this model are clinical training, research, and academic/ teaching, encompassing 14 specific issues. The focus on these issues includes current practices and best practices. A panel of 15 expert professionals provided guidance on the model. These experts are from allopathic and osteopathic medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and graduate programs in behavioral and mental health. The summit has been designed to foster dialogue, as well as share ideas among potential and current faculty, administrators, and professional organizations, concerning the problems of inadequate minority faculty representation in the health and allied health professions.
