About LAMP
The Leaders in Academic Medicine Program (LAMP) presents a remarkable chance for faculty and staff at the Texas A&M School of Medicine to advance their personal and professional development. Rooted in the core values of Texas A&M University, the program equips participants with the crucial knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to excel and lead in the ever-evolving healthcare sector.
Participants will cultivate a strong foundation for effective leadership, promoting teamwork, creativity, and distinction in the areas of academic medicine, patient care, research, and community engagement.
Program Design and Competencies
LAMP is tailored for professionals in academic medicine, providing essential tools for success in leadership roles. As part of a close-knit cohort, you'll contribute to a collaborative environment within the School of Medicine. The program offers a thorough insight into the challenges confronting leaders in academic medicine, along with tactics for adept management. Engaging in this cohort-centric program also presents opportunities to connect with leading figures and colleagues in Medicine, exchange insights, and establish lasting relationships.
The essential skills for LAMP participants were identified through surveys, face-to-face interviews, and workshops in collaboration with the Texas A&M Center for Executive Development, along with Medicine faculty and staff. The program utilizes a blend of workshops, self-reflection, coaching, and group discussions to develop skills in nine key areas:
Emotional Intelligence
