Faculty within the College of Medicine serve as leaders in many different capacities. Whether they maintain a formal leadership role; manage a lab; educate residents, fellows, and students; or participate as an active member of a team, FAME provides support for acquiring critical competencies to excel within these roles. In addition to single session programming and events throughout the year, FAME offers three unique leadership cohort programs designed to enhance leadership skills for faculty in emerging or advanced roles. These courses aim to improve skills by helping participants to increase self-awareness and emotional intelligence; recognize individual strengths, challenges, and values as leaders; develop their ability to initiate and lead change efforts; build high-performing teams; and strengthen their relational and administrative skills to lead small teams, large departments, and beyond.
Cohort Programs
FAME Unites Engaged Leaders (FUEL)
FUEL is a 5-month cohort program designed to enhance knowledge in leadership with an emphasis on building and developing more effective teams. FUEL is open to all faculty members in the College of Medicine and Health Sciences and is offered twice each year (once in the fall and once in the spring).
Faculty Leadership Institute (FLI)
This 10-month program will help train faculty in the necessary competencies to become principled leaders. Participants can expect to elevate self-leadership skills by exhibiting emotional intelligence and recognizing strengths, challenges and values as a leader; strengthen stewardship skills by developing the ability to initiate and lead change efforts; and improve relational skills by formulating mutually beneficial solutions that build consensus and resolve conflict. FLI is open to all faculty members in the College of Medicine and Health Sciences and is offered once each year (beginning in the fall).
Applied Technical Leadership & Administrative Skills
ATLAS is a new 10-month cohort program offered once per year by the Center for Faculty Advancement Mentoring and Engagement (FAME).

ATLAS is open to all faculty members in the College of Medicine and Health Sciences and is offered once each year (beginning in the fall).
