Minority Faculty Career Development Seminar
This program is designed for junior faculty (senior fellows, instructors,
and assistant professors) who are members of underrepresented minority
groups and who aspire to attain positions of leadership in academic medicine.
The objectives of this program are:
- to assist participants in identifying their professional development
goals and designing career paths
- to provide attendees with an understanding of the realities of advancement
in academic medicine by exploring the requirements for appointment,
promotion, and tenure, as well as to assist attendees in planning their
own progress through the system
- to examine the influence of personal styles on individual effectiveness,
team development, group performance, and managing professionals
- to identify personal and professional skills that are key to academic
advancement and provide opportunities for their development
- to assist participants in identifying and coping with special challenges
facing minority faculty
- to provide an overview of the grant-making process of the National
Institutes of Health, as well as other federal agencies and foundations,
and to identify the characteristics of successful grant proposals
The next seminar will be held September 8-10, 2007,
in Coconut Grove, FL.
Program information will be available late June at www.aamc.org/meetings.
