Each year, the College of Medicine Dean nominates outstanding women in the College who have demonstrated leadership potential to participate in the annual professional development program provided by the Hedwig van Amerigen Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM) Program for Women. The class has approximately 45 fellows. ELAM offers extensive educational, networking and mentoring opportunities in support of women leaders who aspire to the highest administrative ranks at academic health centers. (Refer to the website for program details http://www.drexel.edu/elam). The year-long curriculum mixes traditional executive seminars and workshops on topics pertinent to AHC management with group projects and individual assignments aimed at developing personal leadership. The program encompasses in-depth, case analyses, self-assessments, experiential learning, small group activities, and interactions with leaders in academic medicine and dentistry. The program culminates in a 1(+/-) day Forum on Emerging Issues, where program Fellows, their Deans and other invited guests gather with top experts to explore a timely, substantive issue facing AHC leaders. During the year, Fellows attend three educational sessions of 5-7 days each, two at a suburban setting outside Philadelphia, held in the fall and spring, and one coinciding with the November annual meeting of the Association of American Medical Colleges. In addition, Fellows work on independent and group assignments between sessions. Candidates must be at associate professor rank or higher, and must demonstrate significant administrative responsibilities and potential for advancement to top levels of academic administration. In addition to nomination from the Dean, candidates submit an application form and letters of recommendation from their supervisor and one other senior colleague.
