To assist academic institutions in meeting the current challenges noted above, in 1997 Harvard launched a new companion program, Leadership Development for Physicians in Academic Health Centers, to serve a wider array of physician leaders. This program has been developed for physicians (who are not chairs of clinical departments) who are interested in attending a rigorous leadership development and management education program.
The Program aims to bring together physicians who are in administrative positions in academic health centers, who are not chairs of clinical departments, and an interdisciplinary faculty for two weeks of intensive and systematic study of some of the critical leadership and management issues which face physicians in administrative positions and academic health centers.
Continuing Education Credit The Harvard School of Public Health is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The Harvard School of Public Health designates this educational activity for a maximum of 55 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
