In this paper, we describe the process of creating a common faculty development program to train cross-institutional faculty developers to support the implementation of national harmonized medicine and nursing curricula.Methods: A five-step approach was used, including a cross-institutional needs assessment survey for faculty development needs, the development of a generic faculty development program, the identification and training of cross-institutional faculty educators, and the implementation of cross-institutional faculty capacity-building workshops.Results: A list of common cross-cutting faculty development needs for teaching and learning was identified from the needs assessment survey and used to develop an accredited, cross-institutional faculty development program for competency-based learning and assessment. A total of 24 cross-institutional faculty developers were identified and trained in 8 core learning and assessment workshops. A total of 18 cross-institutional and 71 institutional workshops were conducted, of which 1292 faculty members and 412 residents were trained, and three cross-institutional educational research projects were implemented.Conclusion: The success attained in this study shows that the use of cross-institutional faculty developers is a viable model and sustainable resource that can be used to support the implementation of harmonized national curricula.Keywords: faculty development across institutions

- Abstract
What shapes the differences in body size between males and females in miniature species? One potential key factor is reproduction, which could constrain body size evolution because females of miniature species need to remain large enough to lay viable eggs. Glynne & Adams (2024) tested this hypothesis in two gecko families, the Sphaerodactylidae and Phyllodactylidae. Their findings support this hypothesis, indicating that female-biased size differences in miniature species are shaped by selection for reproductive success., (© The Author(s) 2024.
