Harvard Macy Scholars Program

"One year ago, I was privileged to attend the Harvard-Macy Fellowship
for Medical Educators. The three-week experience has
five themes: learning and teaching, curriculum, evaluation, information
technology, and leadership. Conference participants are also required
to devise and
conduct a research project of their own design.
My personal experience at Macy was phenomenal. The teaching was
exceptional and the mentorship unmatched. It was a privilege
to be surrounded by
some of the top medical educators from around the world.
More exciting, however, was the opportunity to collaborate with
these innovative
people, who are now very close friends."

Harvard Educational Leadership Program
http://www.hmiworld.org/current/macy.html
"In June 2000, I had the opportunity to participate in the Harvard
Macy Institute's Program for Leaders in Medical Education. This was
a week-long program
in Boston
immersed in an experience with approximately sixty colleagues from around the
country and the world examining issues related to leadership in medical
education. Topics
included: an overview of the changing world of medical education, leading
teams, curricular reform, negotiating organizational change, errors
in medicine, conflict
resolution, among many others.
The experience was incredible! It was a lot of hard work and there
was quite a bit of friendly competition to do the background readings
and be prepared! The interactions with
colleagues were invaluable.
Probably the greatest impact on me personally was the application
of business models to the experiences of education. The concept
of disruptive technologies to push the leading edge of advancement
of
new paradigms was novel and gave me a new framework to think about
creativity in education. It was very stimulating to be immersed
in this educational opportunity and it had a very profound effect
on my
professional development."

ELAM

"The Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM) Program
is an intensive one year program for senior women faculty in medical
and dental schools. Each
class consists of approximately forty-five women. The goal is to increase the number
of women in senior leadership positions. The structure consists of two
8-10 sessions, as well as a half-day meeting
during
the annual AAMC meeting.
The program has three major parts: Personal and Professional
Development, Traditional MBA skills, and Emerging Issues in Academic
Health Centers. Workshops are led by experienced outside consultants
who are familiar
with teaching
these skills. One of the most important benefits of the program is that
it expands each participant's network of colleagues with similar
interests. I
have made
some very dear friends. I have also gotten to know a large number of
individuals with diverse skills and abilities whom I can call upon
to discuss specific
problems or issues. The well organized program is intensive and the work
load quite heavy,
but I recommend it to women who want to develop the skills the program
focuses on."
