University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston
Shifting gender demographics in dentistry continues, yet the number of men in top leadership roles far exceeds that of women. Concomitantly, the changing gender dynamics promises increased opportunities for women to serve in leadership. In 2018/2019, ADEA WIL SIG identified priorities including a leadership development needs survey with subsequent leadership development programming. This session will report the leadership barriers and development areas identified in the survey and provide strategies for addressing these needs for the purpose of helping participants improve their academic careers. A sample of the web-based leadership development program planned for future rollout will also be explored.
Learning Objectives:
Identify and synthesize key aspects related to leadership growth in academic dentistry in alignment with results reported from the leadership survey.
Define methods they can utilize as they plan their path to leadership, including leadership strategies and how to avoid pitfalls.
Engage strategies to support and develop women into leadership positions.
Identify and synthesize key aspects related to leadership growth in academic dentistry in alignment with results reported from the leadership survey.
