The Mid-Career Minority Faculty Leadership Seminar (Mid-Career MinFac) addresses the specific needs of mid-career faculty from a culturally responsive approach. This professional development seminar provides networking opportunities, small-group executive coaching sessions and CV review for career planning, as well as observational learning opportunities where participants are matched with senior faculty members from outside of their institution.

This four-day leadership development seminar focuses on female physicians and scientists who hold medical school appointments at the associate professor level as well as leadership positions within their discipline, department or institution. The seminar covers leadership topics relevant to mid-career faculty, including: communication, overcoming challenges in the changing landscape of academic medicine, negotiation, wellness, politics and more.

The Association of American Medical Colleges Minority Faculty Leadership Development Seminar is designed for junior faculty (senior clinical and research fellows, instructors and assistant professors) and postdoctoral researchers (with M.D.s and/or Ph.D.s) who aspire to hold leadership positions in academic medicine.

This three-day seminar provides participants with real-world guidance and tools for academic medical career advancement, key professional competency development, grant writing and communications, and professional network expansion.

This four-day, interactive seminar provides women at the assistant professor or instructor level with the knowledge and skills required to navigate the landscape of academic medicine enterprise and continue on a path to leadership. Attendees develop academic medical and scientific career-building skills, including: communication, conflict management, financial acumen and strategic thinking.

The Hedwig van Ameringen Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine program is a year-long, part-time fellowship for female faculty in schools of medicine, dentistry and public health. The program is dedicated to developing the professional and personal skills required to lead and manage in today's complex healthcare environment, with special attention given to the unique challenges facing women in leadership positions. More than 1,000 ELAM alumni hold leadership positions in institutions around the world. Individual women are nominated in order to participate.

The AAMC’s Grant Writers Coaching Group for NIH Awards program supports minority faculty in writing successful grants. The program is designed for faculty who are actively working on an NIH Career Development (K or R) proposal. The goal of the Grant Writers Coaching Group is to complement existing support that the faculty member has to submit a competitive proposal. This program is comprised of four primary activities: (1) orientation webinar; (2) virtual workshop; (3) individual consultation; and (4) virtual coach and peer review sessions. The workshop kicks off our 2023 Minority Faculty Leadership Development Seminar. Join us for both at the Fairmont El San Juan in San Juan, Puerto Rico, starting June 22 through June 25. Keep an eye on your inbox for announcements about speakers, networking, and coaching opportunities.

The Harvard Macy Institute offers five professional development courses each year in Boston.
