Abstract. Assessment of the training needs of faculty members is an important step in ensuring that faculty development programs and activities will be aligned with the faculty's personal, communal, and cultural needs. This study assessed the training needs of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Medical Laboratory Sciences, and Pharmacy program faculty members of a Higher Education Institution in the northern part of the Philippines. The results of this study served as a basis for identifying seminars/training specifically tailored to the faculty’s needs. This descriptive quantitative research was conducted among 42 full-time and part-time faculty members via an online survey using a structured questionnaire designed by the university research staff. The results showed that all allied health sciences faculty members have training needs or interests in pedagogy, research, and other professional attributes. Specific training topics on pedagogy include assessment and evaluation of learners, developing learners’ critical thinking skills, and outcomes-based education. Training topics in research and innovation include analysis and interpretation of data, research mentoring, and the use of digital tools for research. Finally, training topics in other areas of professional attributes include work and personal life balance, stress management, health and wellness, and strategic planning.
