Course Overview

The Women’s Leadership Development Program is a five-month course specially designed for mid-career women faculty who demonstrate strong potential for assuming executive leadership positions in academic medicine. The course will encourage its graduates to pursue the full diversity of roles that offer opportunities for leadership across Emory and beyond. The goals of the program are to strengthen the network among women faculty members, develop and enhance leadership and career development skills, and contribute to efforts to create a more diverse and inclusive environment.

Topics
