The challenges for leaders in academic medicine are many in today’s ever-changing business environment. As a new department chair or associate dean, you are responsible for critical operational functions that guide the success of your institution.

It is designed to ensure you are equipped with the essential leadership and management skills needed to support your institutions' mission and goals.
