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."
