Abstract: Self-directed learning (SDL) is increasingly recognized as a crucial component in medical education, aligning with the need for lifelong learning and adaptability in the rapidly evolving medical field. Faculty development plays a pivotal role in the successful implementation of SDL by equipping educators with the necessary skills, knowledge, and attitudes to foster a supportive learning environment. This review explores the multifaceted role of faculty development in promoting SDL in medical education, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive training programs, institutional support, and the creation of a culture that values continuous learning and student autonomy.
