Kelley School of Business Partnership Programs

In response to this growing demand for greater business acumen, IU School of Medicine has partnered with IU Kelley School of Business to provide a series of leadership development programs.

LAMP

The Leadership in Academic Medicine Program (LAMP) is a year-long, cohort-based faculty development and orientation program for faculty in the second or third years of their appointment. The seminars introduce participants to the fundamentals of career planning, self-management and leadership skills. As a result of this program, faculty have tools that will enable them to accomplish their primary career goals and aspirations.

The Program to Launch URiM Success (PLUS) is a 2-year cohort program structured around two pillars: Leadership and Scholarship. PLUS is tailored to meet the unique needs of faculty from groups underrepresented in medicine. The lasting community built during the two-year participation in PLUS is designed to help combat social and professional isolation and to cultivate a sense of community across departments and disciplines.

Upcoming Events

Stepping Stones of Women in Leadership

Each year, FAPDD in collaboration with the IU School of Medicine Women’s Advisory Council, hosts a series of lunch workshops called Stepping Stones. Since women in academic medicine tend to have smaller professional networks than male colleagues, and because fewer women than men advance to higher ranks, women have fewer role models of success.
