This highly interactive two-day program is intended for established faculty at the associate and full professor levels at the University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences who demonstrate the greatest potential for benefiting from a premier leadership development program.

Content will include leadership development and team building, navigating difficult conversations and situations, the fine art of negotiation, understanding your institutional culture, and how visibility and sponsorship can help you reach your full potential as you manage your  research program or classroom environment. This course also provides a unique opportunity to network with colleagues from across the Schools of the Health Sciences, while dynamic national consultants and a diverse and multidisciplinary group of faculty provide you with tools for taking your career to the next level.
