ELAM at the AAMC GFA: Bringing together
faculty affairs ELUMs and other leaders
On July 28, ELAM held a reception in conjunction with the Association for American Medical College's (AAMC) Group on Faculty Affairs (GFA) meeting in Austin, TX. This event brought faculty affairs leaders together to discuss how to better utilize faculty affairs offices in identifying and nominating strong ELAM candidates and in further supporting ELUMs post-graduation. A note on the event from ELAM Executive Director Nancy Spector:
It was wonderful to see so many ELUMs at the AAMC GFA conference in Austin. We had over 35 (close to 40) attendees at the reception. What I thought was fantastic, is that many of the ELUMs brought potential applicants, and many non-ELUM faculty development and faculty affairs leaders from a variety of institutions attended as well. Additionally, a few leaders of the AAMC and many former leaders of GFA, both men and women, stopped by to say hello.
Thanks to everyone for such a great event!

Harvard Business Review Magazine, July-August, 2016:
Organizations are trying to reduce bias with the same kinds of programs they've been using since the 1960's.
Harvard Business Review, May 30, 2017:
When we travel to a country that has a different culture than ours, many of us spend time learning ways to communicate and connect with the people there. We might look up the meanings of common terms and access maps of key attractions.
Similarly, when you first become a manager, it's helpful to spend time up front connecting and creating a common language with your team. When your team knows how you like to work and how you plan to manage them, they're able to produce results faster. When you know how each of your direct reports likes to work and communicate, you're able to save time when setting direction and following up.
Inc, July 14, 2017:
If you think these things are improving other people's opinion of you, you're dead wrong.
Harvard Business Review, July 20, 2017:
Female executives are a distinct minority, and they can be particularly rare in certain industries like mining, crude oil production, and agriculture. In such environments, they often face daunting obstacles, but could there also be unexpected advantages to being in a minority group? And, if so, what?
Linked In, July 20, 2017:
Recently, I watched David Allen's free LinkedIn Learning course, Getting Things Done. The course was exactly what the title described - it was on how to better get things done.
Like most productivity experts, Allen says it comes down to managing your focus and energy, not necessarily your time. But what was interesting and what makes Allen such an in-demand consultant is his incredibly practical, effective system for managing your focus, aptly named the Getting Things Done Methodology.
I'm not going to detail the entire methodology to you here (if you are so inclined, again you can watch Allen's course for free). But in his course, Allen dropped a few pieces of priceless wisdom on how you should approach your day.
New York Times, July 21, 2017:
It's not a pipeline problem. It's about loneliness, competition and deeply rooted barriers.
Academic Medicine, Volume 92, Issue 8, August 2017:
Currently women shoulder more domestic and child care responsibilities than men do, but this does not mean that they are better at these roles or enjoy them more than men. We posit that gender inequality in academic medicine would be better addressed by restructuring career advancement for both men and women. This would allow a more balanced and rewarding lifestyle for both men and women.
Harvard Business Review, August 1, 2017:
Avoid these common traps when you join a new organization.

When in a mess, apologize from your heart - and quickly - or else risk losing your reputation, warns former Medtronic CEO Arthur D. Collins, Jr.
