The Faculty for the Engaged Campus initiative (FEC) of Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) developed a one-year competency-based faculty development pilot program designed to achieve two objectives: increase competencies in community engagement and community-engaged scholarship and encourage participants to serve as ambassadors of engaged scholarship. This article describes the components of the pilot program, and analyzes its impact and effectiveness by examining participant surveys and interviews. Findings, critical program features, and lessons learned are explored.
