The College of Medicine Leadership Development Program is a cohort-style experience, designed for College of Medicine faculty who are current leaders at or above the level of Division Chief, Program Director, Concentration Directors, or equivalent. The program’s overall objective is to improve the leadership capability of program participants by focusing on key competencies, as outlined in the UF Leadership Competency Model. These competencies are categorized in four quadrants— Build Trust, Advance Vision, Generate Alignment, Cultivate Talent. This program is most helpful to leaders who are interested in:
- Developing knowledge and skills to more effectively manage and lead people
- Furthering the programs of their college and the university through a better understanding of both strategic and operational issues
- Moving a strategic agenda forward, while helping others meet their goals
- Sharing experiences and gaining perspective from colleagues across the COM
The program, now in its 14th year, is facilitated by UFHR Training and Organizational Development and led by Rebecca Younglove. Each session focuses in on a targeted area of leadership and how the concepts apply specifically for leaders in the COM. Through a combination of facilitated discussions and scenarios, leaders examine key challenges and develop new strategies to increase individual and team effectiveness. Additional training in UF administrative organization and policies will also be covered. There is no cost to the participant for this program.
The Office of Faculty Affairs & Professional Development will announce a call for applications mid-August each year. Contact Mark Segal, MD/PhD, Senior Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Professional Development, for more information.
