Executive Development Seminar for Deans: Phase I
Seminar for Deans and Interim Deans only

Jointly sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges and Harvard Medical School, Department of Continuing Education

January 10-12, 2008 - Association of American Medical Colleges - Washington, D.C.

The purpose of the AAMC's Executive Development Seminars is the advancement of academic medical center leadership and managerial capacity through the exploration of management topics, theories and techniques under the guidance of an expert faculty. Most of the faculty have a long history with the program and numerous years of "hands on" experience in academic medical centers. This two-part "Executive Development Seminar for Deans" is considered an important component of the COD Leadership Initiative. The seminar includes exercises that will help the newly appointed Dean learn as much as possible, as quickly as possible, about the responsibilities that are integral to the new position.

Objectives

• Explore the issues shaping academic medical center governance, the challenges of leadership in these organizations, and the special dynamics of decision-making.
• Explore legal issues and the implications for decision making in the academic medical center.
• Provide a deeper appreciation for technical financial management.
• Examine the principles of negotiating and to practice the skills and techniques using case studies based on academic medicine settings.
• Explore new ways of thinking about organizational structures and processes in academic health care systems.
• Discuss the programs and services of the AAMC and ways in which the AAMC can support leadership in academic medicine.
