New and Evolving Academic Leaders (NEAL) Program

Leadership is a component of the job for all academic clinicians and scientists in health care whether engaged in research, education or innovation. Did your training prepare you to lead?

The New and Evolving Academic Leaders (NEAL) Program is now accepting applications for their 2019-2020 class. 
If the academic part of your job entails engaging people to develop or advance an educational, research or innovation agenda in health care, then NEAL is for you. At NEAL, we aim to foster productive, visionary, and collaborative academic leaders in the Academic Health Science Network. Our participants develop mindsets and capabilities to successfully lead and help enable the success of their academic teams. We help them do their job. After every module of the NEAL program, participants will walk away with actionable tools and frameworks that they can apply immediately when they return to work. We believe that their learning should be immediately relevant and last long after the program is finished.
Applicants must have been in a faculty position for at least 3 years and have academic leadership roles and/or responsibilities.

Final deadline: June 7, 2019
