Faculty Development and Leadership Programs at the AAMC
The AAMC has a new focus on faculty development and leadership. The Division
of Medical School Affairs welcomed Diane Magrane, M.D. to the position
of Associate Vice President of the section on Faculty Development and
Leadership programs on January 15, 2004. The new programs build upon the
25-year history of Women in Medicine (WIM)
programs and 15 years of the Faculty Affairs Forum (FAF).
The reorganization into a focus on comprehensive professional development
has been catalyzed by reports from the Increasing Women's Leadership committee
and the Council for Academic Societies (CAS)
task force on faculty leadership. Both of these reports recognized that
organizational productivity and faculty development are interdependent.
