ELAM
The Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM) program, a one-year intensive leadership training program for senior women faculty who aspire to be leaders in academic medicine. ELAM is intended for women faculty who have achieved significant administrative experience in personnel and budget matters (e.g., as chair, division chief); express a clear desire to attain a leadership position; embrace strategic risk taking in their career path; possess growth opportunities, either formal or informal, within their institution; and have an expressed commitment from their institution to support their formal or informal advancement and opportunities for increased responsibility in the immediate to five-year range.
ELH
The Executive Leadership in Health Care (ELH) program is targeted to rising women at the equivalent of the associate professor level who are established experts in their domain. Candidates will have a track record of achievement in clinical program development (or other institutional-level activities that mark them as appropriate) and have aspirations to lead at the executive level in the next five years. A successful candidate will be an associate or full professor who has exhibited strong leadership qualities and has had administrative experience in personnel and budget management.
