ELAM's year-long program develops the professional and personal skills required to lead and manage successfully in today's complex healthcare environment, with special attention to the unique challenges facing women in leadership positions.
Fellows attend three weeklong sessions during the year—one in the fall, on in the spring, and one coinciding with the AAMC annual meeting in November.
