HMS/HSDM Leadership Development Course for Physicians and Scientists
Instructor/Assistant Professors
Wednesday, April 3 to Friday, April 5, 2024, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Each spring, the Office for Faculty Affairs offers a three-day course designed for the HMS and HSDM instructors and assistant professors who have a responsibility for a research grant, laboratory, educational course, or clinical program. The goal of the course is to build on participants' knowledge base and skills to enhance their professional development as administrative leaders in academic medicine. The curriculum focuses on human resource management, negotiation, finance, self assessment, communications, and personal career development. Women and populations underreresented in medicine are particularly encouraged to apply.

Eligibility and Application Requirements
This course is designed for HMS and HSDM Instructors and Assistant Professors holding leadership roles (e.g., responsibility for a research grant, laboratory, educational course, clinical program). Women and faculty who are underrepresented in medicine are particularly encouraged to apply, and preference will be given to those who hold full-time academic appointments.
Commitment Policy:
We require a three-day commitment from all attendees from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day. We have many more applicants than slots, and we expect participants to attend all sessions (virtual and in-person), arriving on time and staying until the day officially ends. All conflicting clinical, teaching, or other commitments should have coverage supported by your department and one-off meetings should be rescheduled. Our sessions are interactive, arriving late and leaving early is disruptive to presenters, and we have several sessions in which the breakout groups may only have 2 or 3 people; therefore, out of respect for the other attendees, we would strongly recommend that you apply during a year in which you are able to dedicate the whole time to the course, which will maximize your experience.
