A CNE identifies a gap between evidence-based teaching practice and what faculty currently implement. The MOST appropriate first step is to:

Transparent negotiation of workload expectations and setting professional boundaries are evidence-based strategies for managing competing role demands.
When evaluating the effectiveness of a new faculty orientation program, which outcome measure is MOST meaningful?
