AAMC CAS-Chairs, May 14, 2013:

The article is entitled "Leave Judging Science in the Hands of Scientists."

 

Nadine Kaslow, Ph.D. (ELAM '04), President-elect of the American Psychological Association, was profiled by CNN in "Psychology plus ballet: Meet 'Dr. Dancer,'" for managing to balance her professional role as a psychologist in academic medicine with her lifelong devotion to all things ballet.

 

ADEA Charting Progress, May 15, 2013:

IPE Is Here to Stay

In this month's letter, ADEA President and CEO Dr. Rick Valachovic checks in with leaders on three campuses where interprofessional education took root early on and continues to flourish. Elizabeth S. (Betsy) Pilcher, D.M.D. (ELAM '12), Associate Dean for Institutional Effectiveness and Professor in the Division of Restorative Dentistry at Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is among those whose IPE work is highlighted in the column. "At the James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine, Betsy is also the point person on IPE. The fact that she can remember her initial unease with the concept conveys just how far-and how quickly-MUSC has come since its pivotal decision to prioritize IPE in 2005. That is the year the university launched its Creating Collaborative Care (C3) initiative and established an office to oversee its interprofessional activities."

5 Tips for Cover Letter Writing

When it comes to job applications, cover letters are make-or-break documents. Following basic guidelines and avoiding classic mistakes will improve your chances of being hired. Make sure to keep it to a single page, pay attention to details, and proofread. Don't simply restate your resume or submit a generic stock piece. Make your letter specific to the position and demonstrate how hiring you would be beneficial.  (From Forbes magazine)

Productivity in the Modern Office: A Matter of Impact
More than 50 years after management guru Peter Drucker first wrote about the difficulty of defining and measuring the productivity of knowledge workers, management experts say many companies still do a poor job of it. To get a better gauge of how much employees are accomplishing, experts say managers need to remember that quality is often as important, if not more so, than quantity, and that blanket policies rarely remedy such a highly individualized issue.

 

New research co-authored by Wharton post-doctoral fellow Jessica Kennedy indicates that one possible explanation for women being underrepresented in certain business careers is their perceptions about the ethical compromises that have to be made to get ahead.

Few Executives Are Self-Aware, But Women Have the Edge

 

So is the best man for the job a woman?

Research by Hay Group, culled from its 17,000-person behavioral competency database in 2012, finds that when it comes to empathy, influence, and the ability to manage conflicts in the executive level, women show more skill than men. Specifically, women are more likely to show empathy as a strength, demonstrate strong ability in conflict management, show skills in influence, and have a sense of self-awareness.

How Color-Coded Notes Make You A More Efficient Thinker

Carrying multiple pens for notes might feel like lugging a Victrola for music. But there are real benefits for stretching out your thoughts, recalling meetings, and deeper research. [Roz notes that Spell Check failed to recognize "Victrola," even though she did! Also, she feels completely vindicated for carrying black, blue, red and green pens and yellow, green and pink highlighters wherever she goes.]
