"Department chairs play an essential role in the stability and future of the academy. The Successful Medical School Department Chair series is a worthy recognition of that role. The modules will assist our institutions in finding, developing, and transitioning departmental leaders. The first module on search, selection, and appointment is outstanding!"

"A marvelous report on department chairs. It is an exceptional module that will surely be of great value to the profession. I am also finding a lot in it that is useful within the university more generally. Bravo for the good work!"
