What Past Attendees Are Saying About the Early-Career Faculty Leadership Development Seminar

What to Expect

Formerly known as the Early Career Women Faculty Leadership Development Seminar, the seminar has been expanded to ensure all early career faculty who may benefit have the opportunity to attend.

The curriculum for this year’s seminar is highly focused on preparing for academic promotion/advancement and identifying leadership opportunities. Over three days, you’ll take part in engaging plenaries and interactive small group breakouts designed to help you advance along your path to leadership. You’ll also have ample opportunity to network with peers facing similar challenges. Specific topics that will be covered during the seminar include:

  • Academic promotion and advancement
  • Identifying and taking advantage of leadership opportunities
  • Negotiation
  • Communicating as a leader, and more

Who Should Attend?

Physicians and scientists with an appointment at an AAMC member school of medicine, with a minimum of two years of experience (as of the date of the seminar) as an Assistant Professor. While this course is designed for those with experience in their roles, experienced and aspiring faculty are welcome to participate if the curriculum aligns with their leadership development goals. Due to high demand, we encourage you to secure your spot early, as space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Please note that the program now uses a registration-based enrollment process, making it easier to secure your spot while maintaining the same rigorous learning experience. This update is intended to allow participants to plan and confirm their participation with greater ease.

Program Objectives

Upon completion of the seminar, participants will be able to:

  • Demonstrate leadership behaviors that include effective communication, expanding self-awareness, increasing financial acumen, and other leadership topics necessary for skill development and career advancement.
  • Gain insights into overcoming challenges and developing strategies for navigating interpersonal dynamics in the workplace.
  • Create individualized leadership goals that align with their long-term career vision and short-term goals for academic promotion/advancement.
  • Expand their network of colleagues within academic medicine and science.
