The Faculty Development Program was first approved by Order No. A/259, dated December 22, 2021, of the Director of MNUMS. Within the framework of the university development policy's priority goal of creating excellent teaching staff, the program aims to continuously develop teacher training, research, professional and personal knowledge, skills, and attitudes, and disseminate best practices, and has developed a comprehensive teacher competency framework. Within the framework of the program, 5 main objectives and 39 activities are planned and implemented within 3 years.

In order to create the best human resources, support the continuous development of teachers, and improve knowledge, skills, and attitudes toward teaching and learning, 390 teachers have participated in a double number of teaching methods courses, and 60 teachers have been awarded a certificate on the right to teach by participating in a 5-module course for newly hired teachers. We are also implementing a mentorship
program for newly recruited teachers, increasing the number of foreign teachers, and implementing teacher exchange programs at constituent schools, branch schools, and hospitals.

        180 faculty have participated in training to support research methodology and publication of papers in international journals to bring faculty academic and research skills up to international standards. The number of publications in peer-reviewed international journals has also doubled in the last three years.
