The Leadership in Academic Medicine Program (LAMP) is a monthly series of workshops designed for new faculty in year two, three or four of their faculty appointment. LAMP workshops introduce participants to the fundamentals of career planning, self-management and leadership skills, including sessions with senior mentors who provide invaluable guidance. Skills acquired through this program provide early career faculty with tools to accomplish their primary career goals and lead to success as an academician. LAMP curriculum topics include promotion and tenure, presentation of work, conflict management, negotiation skills and much more.
