Leadership

OHSU offers a "Paths to Leadership" training program, which is open to School of Medicine faculty. OHSU managers may also be interested in the "Leadership Foundations Program", an 8-week, 8-session certificate series designed to provide a broad understanding of the behaviors, tools and resources needed to be successful in a leadership role at OHSU.

Leadership Foundations Program

Several external opportunities also exist. At our 2014 conference, the Provost announced that OHSU will become an institutional sponsor of the ELAM, or Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine, program. This level of support will allow women from any OHSU school to be nominated for participation in the year-long professional development program. A sister program, ELATE, is a leadership development program targeted to senior faculty women in STEM
