African American physicians remain underrepresented among all medical school faculty, including faculty in departments of family medicine. This paper reports on a faculty development effort aimed at increasing the number and academic skills of underrepresented minority faculty. ⋯ Faculty development is a potentially effective strategy for increasing diversity in academic primary care. Historically black and Hispanicserving institutions can make contributions to training minority faculty. More-rigorous study could elucidate which program elements have the greatest effect on minority faculty academic career choice, scholarly productivity, and career trajectory and the extent to which these programs could be adapted to majority institutions.
