2008 AAIM Executive Leadership Program Information
Program Overview
Leaders in academic internal medicine who fill administrative roles often have not had opportunities to engage in formal educational
experiences focused on the responsibilities of these positions. While recognition of success in the clinical, educational, or research arenas paves the way for promotion to department chair, program director, division chief, or other such positions, it is the knowledge, skills, and attitudes about finances, planning, management, negotiation, and leadership that create the opportunity for success in new leadership roles.
The six-day AAIM Executive Leadership Program will provide excellent opportunities to learn about the knowledge, skills, and attitudes
in:
- Financial management
- Leadership and change management
- Strategy formulations and planning
- Operations management
- Organizational management
Program Goals
1. To build leadership and management skills among physician leaders and other key decision makers within departments of internal medicine that will allow participants to be more effective in carrying out current and evolving roles in their institutions.
2. To provide a forum in which physicians and administrators from different organizations can discuss management-related problems and develop solutions.
Case Method of Instruction
The program uses the case method of instruction and relies almost entirely on cases from the health care field, with most set in departments of internal medicine. In the case method, participants analyze each case individually and then discuss it in small groups. The case is then discussed in a plenary session led by a faculty member. Pioneered at the Harvard Business School, this method effectively promotes a productive, enjoyable, and professional learning experience. It also provides opportunities for participants to interact and learn from each other.
Why Attend?
1. Participate in the only executive education course developed specifically for faculty and staff in departments of internal medicine.
2. Learn from excellent faculty recognized for their teaching skill and work with academic physicians.
3. Network with leaders of other departments of internal medicine.
