This course is designed for HMS/HSDM instructors, assistant professors, or associate professors who currently have responsibility for a research grant, laboratory, educational course, or clinical unit. This course is intended for those in the early stages of leadership and not for chairs of departments or divisions. The goal of the Program is to build on participants' knowledge base and skills to enhance their professional development as administrative leaders in academic medicine. Participants will acquire skills in institutional organization, health care economics (with a heavy concentration on finance), legal and regulatory issues, and the full spectrum of communication skills. Women and minorities are particularly encouraged to apply.
