ELAM Program for Women

The Hedwig van Ameringen Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine® (ELAM®) Program for Women is the nation's only in-depth program focused on preparing senior women faculty at schools of medicine, dentistry and public health to move into positions of institutional leadership where they can effect positive change.

ELAM's year-long program develops the professional and personal skills required to lead and manage successfully in today's complex healthcare environment, with special attention to the unique challenges facing women in leadership positions.

Fellows attend three weeklong sessions during the year—one in the fall, one in the spring, and one coinciding with the AAMC annual meeting in November. Between sessions, Fellows pursue independent assignments and develop an institutional action project at their home institution. Deans join their ELAM Fellows for the final 1 1/2 days of the spring session when they explore with a guest expert an issue on methodology pertinent to AHC leadership.

2013 Program for Educators in Health Professions

http://www.harvardmacy.org/Programs/Overview.aspx
Application Deadline: 9/21/2012
Current Dates: 1/13/2013 - 1/23/2013 & 5/5/2013 - 5/10/2013

Program Objectives
The goal of this Harvard Macy Program is to enhance the professional development of physicians, basic scientists and other healthcare professionals as educators. The program will combine five major themes: Learning and teaching, curriculum, evaluation, leadership, and information technology. The program provides a select group of 60 healthcare professionals with the knowledge base and skills to enhance their expertise in both conducting an educational project of their own design and taking a leadership role in the educational activities at their home institutions.

Program Description
The program consists of two sessions in residence at Harvard: an 11-day winter session and a 6-day spring session. Learning formats include large-group presentations, interactive exercises, problem-based learning, observations, reflective use of journals, and discussion in large and small groups. A variety of faculty-facilitated small-group formats are used to support learning from observation, to draw together scholars with common interests, and to further the development of each scholar's back-home project for educational change.
