Program Overview
Faculty are invited to register for this one-day professional development conference, designed to build essential interpersonal competencies for academic and clinical leadership. The program was developed in direct response to WCM survey data, which identified negotiation, conflict management, and feedback as among the highest-priority skill areas across departments and divisions.
The conference offers immersive, expert-facilitated workshops in a condensed Saturday format, providing substantive professional development while minimizing disruption to clinical and research responsibilities.
