ELAM is thrilled to announce its 2022-2023 class of fellows and the fellows for its new program, Executive Leadership in Health Care (ELH). The ELH program will follow the ELAM model, and is designed for senior-level women leaders interested in advancing in hospitals and healthcare systems to positions such as CEO, CMO, CNO and CFO.

“To accommodate a very strong pool of applicants, we have accepted 72 fellows into the 2022-23 class of ELAM,” says Nancy D. Spector, MD, Executive Director of ELAM. “The application pool for this class was the largest ever, with a 25% increase over 2021-2022,” she added. “We are also excited to pilot our Executive Leadership in Health Care program with 27 fellows from around the country.”

“The women are exceptional leaders who are capable of making critical systemic change in their institutions. The need for the highest quality leaders in academic health care has never been greater, and we are doing everything we can to help meet that need by providing outstanding and innovative leadership training for women.”

Congratulations to the new fellows, and to anyone that mentored, nominated, or recommended them!
