AAMC -- Faculty Vitae

Change and the transitions involved in change are part of all of our lives. This issue of Faculty Vitae addresses the challenges of professional transitions. The Feature frames the concepts and presents some useful models that apply to both personal and professional transitions. Perspectives brings the voices of young and seasoned faculty in academic medicine to share wisdom from their personal experiences of transition to new positions. The Spotlight is on the minority faculty development program that evolved from a merger of Children's National Medical Center and Howard University Hospital's pediatric departments in Washington, D.C. The Leadership Lesson features part 2 of a three-part series on negotiation and focuses on effective preparation for negotiation. Finally, we've added a new resource for professional development programs -- a reference for programs offered by specialty societies.

- Diane Magrane, MD, Associate Vice President, Faculty Development and Leadership Programs

AAMC will highlight innovative faculty development programs during the Faculty Development Professional Development Conference and honor women's leadership and advancement at the Annual Meeting. Nominate a colleague for the Women in Medicine Leadership Awards.
