The Early Career Women Faculty Professional Development Seminar is a three and a half-day program designed for women at the assistant professor or instructor level.

The program goal is to provide an introduction to the knowledge and skills needed to follow the path to leadership in academic medicine. Topics covered span strategic communication skills to negotiation to leadership topics. Small-group sessions focus on mentoring participants in career building skills in narrative and CV development. The seminar faculty are chosen for their demonstrated leadership abilities from various schools in the United States and Canada and offer knowledge, inspiration and valuable career advice.

The seminar is targeted at physicians and Ph.D. scientists holding medical school appointments and considering leadership positions within their discipline, department or institution.
