We welcome the identification of these programs; contact us to submit your program or your society's program to our list. Please include a brief description as well as contact information.

Reply: The theme for this issue of Faculty Vitae is Diversity and Equity. Our leadership lesson addresses basics of negotiation. In addition, we welcome women associate professors to apply to attend the upcoming faculty development meeting, our Mid-Career Women Faculty Development Program, which addresses topics such as conflict, negotiation, and leadership from the perspective of women faculty. We will begin receiving applications for this program in February. The AAMC also offers other programs that address a variety of these topics.
