The AAMC Early Career Women Faculty Leadership Development Seminar is a three-and-a-half-day seminar designed for women physicians and scientists who hold medical school appointments at the instructor or assistant professor level and are in the early stages of leadership positions within their discipline, department or institution. This seminar presents participants with a foundation for modeling leadership behavior and assists them with creating individual leadership goals. They gain insights into the realities of building a career in academic medicine and science, and their network of colleagues is expanded though the facilitation of peer discussion, small-group career advancement toolbox sessions and various networking activities. Additionally, establishing a wellness practice and applying new skills post-seminar are covered. Attendees work on developing academic medicine and science career building skills such as communication, conflict management and financial acumen, and employ strategic thinking about their career and leadership development.

The Office of Academic Affairs and the Virginia Kneeland Frantz Society for Women Faculty provide funds to partially cover the registration costs of full-time VP&S faculty members who attend this seminar. Faculty must contact the Office of Academic Affairs prior to applying to the seminar in order to take advantage of this opportunity.
