Developing Fundamental Competencies

Supporting the development of leaders in academic medicine.

The Ansbacher Program was initially designed to accelerate the development of women for senior positions in academic medicine and healthcare. It is open to all leaders, regardless of gender, who have a demonstrated commitment to supporting the advancement of women. Because the Medical School strongly believes that this commitment is a universal responsibility, and that leadership development is most effective in an inclusive and diverse environment, we encourage nominations of individuals of all genders. The program will provide leaders with insight into their leadership strengths and opportunities, allowing for greater self-awareness, growth, development, and success
 

The program is designed in partnership with the University of Michigan Medical School, Linkage, Inc., and the Stephen M. Ross School of Business.

The curriculum focuses on developing four fundamental and four differentiating competencies. Each of these competencies is refined through phases: preparing for leadership, transitioning into leadership, sustaining success in leadership, and transitioning again into new leadership positions.
