A Faculty Orientation Program Education Driven by Quality Outcomes was organized on 31 August 2024 by the Departmental Internal Quality Assurance Cell (DIQAC) of the Uttaranchal Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Practical strategies for lesson planning, teaching differentiation, and student engagement were provided during this orientation session. By fostering teacher collaboration, a culture of ongoing development is fostered. Professional learning groups are a great way to collaborate and get insight into the new work environment, as the orientation stressed. Educating faculty members about their roles and responsibilities and disseminating effective, high-quality, outcome-based teaching methods were the objectives of the program, which also aimed to improve the institution. Important academic difficulties were brought to the faculty's attention by Dr Vikash Jakhmola, Director, UIPS Director who also gave advice on how to follow through on them.
In addition, Dr Jakhmola provided an overview of the organization's policies and procedures as well as the requirements for superior research and teamwork.
