[Hlthpol] Minority Faculty Development Program (AAMC)

[Lynch, John (NIH/NINDS) [E]]

Dear Colleagues:

The registration for the AAMC Minority Faculty Career Development Seminar is now open for all junior faculty in academic medicine.  In existence since 1990, the Seminar is a 3-day professional development conference focused on building junior faculty skills in grant writing, tenure and promotion, networking and mentoring, and communication.

This year, the AAMC is piloting a new junior faculty development initiative -- the K-Writers Coaching Group, a coaching program to support the writing process for the NIH Career Development Award, as a preconference component of the Minority Faculty Career Development Seminar, and mini consultation sessions with senior faculty for more personalized career development support.

This three-day professional development seminar is designed for junior faculty (senior clinical and research fellows, post docs, instructors, and assistant professors) who aspire to leadership positions in academic medicine. Seminar objectives include:

*         Assisting participants in identifying their professional development goals and designing a career path, and the tools on how to get there
*         Providing attendees with an understanding of the realities of advancement in academic medicine through the exploration of the requirements for appointment, promotion, and tenure, as well as assisting attendees in planning their own progress through the system
*         Developing key professional competencies in academic and organizational leadership
*         Building skills in grant writing and communications
Helping participants expand their network of colleagues and role models

The 2012 AAMC Minority Faculty Career Development Seminar will be held at the W Chicago City Center in Chicago, Ill., September 7-10, 2012.
