PAST EVENTS

JANUARY

Leadership/Management Institute

Session 1, Days 1 & 2

Date(s): Fri., January 9th - Sat., January 10th Academic leaders often rise through the ranks based on their achievements as researchers, educators, and clinical care providers. These skills do not necessarily prepare them for the challenges of leadership and management in the unique and complex environment of the academic medical center. For academic medical centers to succeed, strong leadership skills at the departmental and divisional levels are essential. The Leadership/Management Institute will support this development of these skills to complement the scientific and educational skills necessary to sustain the academic medicine mission.

Session 2, led by P&S Vice Dean for Academic Affairs Anne Taylor, is designed to provide information and support for those faculty members in the “prefix” and “suffix” tracks (those with the titles, “Assistant Clinical Professor of…” and “Assistant Professor of Clinical…”).

Leadership/Management Institute

Session 2, Days 1 & 2

Date(s): Fri., February 20 - Sat., February 21st

Academic leaders often rise through the ranks based on their achievements as researchers, educators, and clinical care providers.

For academic medical centers to succeed, strong leadership skills at the departmental and divisional levels are essential. The Leadership/Management Institute will provide this developmental component to complement the scientific and educational skills necessary to sustain the academic medicine mission by providing identified leaders with the knowledge and skills that academic medical center leadership needs to achieve the missions or research, education, and cutting edge clinical care.

MARCH

Educator Development Mini-Fellowship

This series, targeted at medical educators across the career lifespan, invites a limited number of teachers to think in depth about how students learn, and how teachers can be most successful helping their students assimilate information in a meaningful way. Led by renowned faculty from Teachers College, Anna Neumann and Aaron Pallas, these sessions offer an opportunity to hone teaching skills over time.

Session 1:  How Students Learn

Date(s): Fri., March 6th Time: 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm Using cases from the K-12, college, and medical education literatures, this session will teach teachers how to help students truly learn material – how to build their own maps of the content landscape, instead of simply memorizing someone else’s directions.

MATERIALS FROM THIS EVENT:

Readings: Dewey

Finding Funding 101

Date(s): Tues., March 10th Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Funding 101 is a one-session version of the Funding for Research Activities course.  This course will provide an overview of the information about obtaining research support including the types of support and review processes for research and training activities.

Women in Medicine Networking Event

Date(s): Mon., March 16th Time: 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm This event is designed to connect women medical students and faculty.

Mentoring 101

Date(s): Thurs., March 19th Time: 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm Finding your way around a career in academic medicine can be confusing: balancing research, clinical, teaching, and service responsibilities (and outside life!) while working steadfastly towards advancement. Mentors – more experienced colleagues who have successfully navigated the same challenges – can be critical in achieving success and maintaining sanity. While some mentoring relationships are assigned and others are cultivated outside of formal programs, there are strategies for success that apply to all mentor-mentee relationships. This workshop will introduce some of these strategies, as well as provide you with materials to use in informal or formal mentoring relationships to ensure that both the mentee and the mentor make the most of their time spent together.

Leadership/Management Institute

Balancing Work & Life Services Presentation Date(s): Thurs., March 26th Time: 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm Careers in academic medicine are challenging, and working in an academic medical center can often feel as though there is little time left for other things (like family and other important commitments). But creating an appropriate balance between your work and the rest of your life is critical to your success on all fronts. This session will provide information about support services that are available to help you navigate the challenges of building a balanced work life.   MATERIALS FOR THIS EVENT: Handout: Work/Life Presentation     Educator Development Mini-Fellowship This series, targeted at medical educators across the career lifespan, invites a limited number of teachers to think in depth about how students really learn, and how teachers can be most successful helping their students assimilate information in a meaningful way. Led by renowned faculty from Teachers College, Anna Neumann and Aaron Pallas, these sessions offer an opportunity to hone teaching skills over time.   Session 2:  How to Teach Towards Real Learning Date(s): Fri., March 27th Time: 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm This session will ask teachers to become students as they rediscover what it means to really learn subject matter. A guided discussion will allow participants to figure out ways to incorporate this subject-centered methodology into their own teaching.   MATERIALS FOR THIS EVENT: Readings: Shulman
