ELUMs gathered at a lunch at the ADEA Annual Meeting

We were very pleased to see
so many ELUMs at the American Dental Education Association meeting in Orlando this past weekend! ELAM hosted a lunch with a number of ELUMs, two current applicants to the program, and a potential applicant! Nancy Spector, ELAM's Executive Director, and Laura Lynch, ELAM's Program Manager, were in attendance and led a discussion about ways to encourage involvement and support of dental ELUMs, as well as increase the number of dental applicants each year. Brian Kall, ELAM's Director of Operations and Management, staffed the ELAM exhibition booth, and was able to connect with a number of ELUMs as well as provide information to deans and other women interested in ELAM. Thank you to all who attended the lunch and stopped by the booth!
If you are a dental ELUM and you have thoughts on how we can better support our dental ELUMs and encourage more dental applicants, we'd love to hear from you! Please share your thoughts with us at

Tsveti Markova, M.D. (ELAM '12),
was honored with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's Parker J. Palmer Courage to Lead award.
We received the following news from
Shlomit Schaal, M.D., Ph.D. (ELAM '18):
This issue was sent electronically and in hard copy to all Retina Specialists around the world.
There are 89 Ophthalmology departments in academic institutions, most of the chairs of these departments are Retina Specialists, but only 4 are women. The article focuses on these women. Personally, it is a great honor and rather unbelievable for me to be included with these women, all of them were famous names I knew as a resident in Israel.
The American Medical Women's Association 103rd Anniversary Meeting and the Medical Women's International Association North America Congress
was held earlier this week in Philadelphia. ELUMs involved in the meeting included
Marjorie Jenkins, M.D. (ELAM '09) (keynote speaker);
Stephanie Abbuhl, M.D. (ELAM '05); Linda Chaudron, M.D., M.S. (ELAM '14); Pauline Maki, Ph.D. (ELAM '10); Ana Núñez, M.D. (ELAM '05).
If you have news about yourself, your ELAM Learning Community, or other ELUMs that you would like to share in the

Researchers at the University at Albany's Center for Health Workforce Studies (CHWS) analyzed starting salary trends for physicians who completed graduate medical education (GME) training in New York over the past 15 years. Using data drawn from its annual Resident Exit Survey, researchers found that despite the growing percentage of women completing training in the state's GME programs, pay gaps between newly trained male and female physicians persist and are in fact widening. Findings from this study are detailed in a recent research brief, "
Gender Pay Gaps Widen for Newly Trained Physicians".

Constantly shifting priorities and visions leave universities adrift. Is consistent leadership too much to ask for?
With external concerns preoccupying presidents, colleges look to chief academic officers to lead innovation and build consensus.
For administrators seeking faculty support for a major change, there are no simple tricks; rather, it takes long-term relationship building and canny strategy, say veterans of the process.
Inside Higher Ed, March 20, 2018:
Ask a child to draw a scientist, and she's more likely than ever to draw a woman. That's according to a new study in Child Development. Researchers analyzed 78 "draw-a-scientist" studies dating back to the 1960s, involving 20,000 kids in kindergarten through 12th grade. Between 1966 and 1977, the paper says, less than 1 percent of U.S. kids chose to draw a woman when prompted to draw a scientist. But in studies from 1985 to 2016, 28 percent of children drew a female scientist, on average, with both girls and boys drawing women more often over time. Girls still drew female scientists much more often than boys, however.

AAMC CFAS News, March 23, 2018:
"[The #MeToo moment] is prompting women in medicine to take on a health system where workers have traditionally been discouraged from making waves and where hierarchies are ever-present and all-commanding. While the health care field overall has far more women than men, in many stations of power the top of the pyramid is overwhelmingly male, with women occupying the vast base," reported Kaiser Health News.
