ELAM News to Know
The Benefits of Being an ELUM
Some of the benefits of going through the ELAM program are obvious - the leadership skills and knowledge gained that serve as powerful tools in addressing both professional and personal challenges.
However, the benefits of being an ELUM also extend beyond what is learned in the fellowship year, in tangible, yet sometimes less obvious ways, and in ways that follow you long after you receive your graduation plaque.
Just some of the benefits of being an ELUM are:
- Professional Development Programs: ICELA hosts biennial professional development programs for alumnae. These programs seek to extend the learning that happens during the ELAM and ELATE fellowship experience, and to serve as an opportunity to strengthen the ELUM community. (Visit our ICELA Alumnae webpage for more information on our upcoming program in January 2016.)
- Networking and Community Building Events: ELAM holds events for all current and former fellows at the annual meetings of AAMC, ADEA and additional meetings upon occasion. These events are opportunities for getting updates on the ELAM Program and ICELA as well as reuniting with others from your own or other classes and learning communities. (Our next networking event is in Baltimore on November 8. Visit our ICELA Alumnae webpage for more information.)
- Community Web Portal (online searchable database): Alumnae can log in to our secure site at www.icela.net to update contact and demographic information as well as to search for program graduates via the ICELA Community Web Portal. Staff use this information to stay in touch and make sure that alumnae receive news from the community. We also compile aggregate data that shows the impact of the fellowship and the alumnae community, and publish it in our research and reports.
- ELAM Listservs: This ELAM listserv reaches all ELAM alumnae. ELAM uses it for distributing announcements and other information, and ELUMs can use it for circulating queries for information, feedback, problem solving, etc. Each class also has its own private listserv for apropos messages.
- ELAM Candidate Lists: ELAM compiles candidate resource lists for search committees and search firms seeking to fill executive-level positions at academic health centers and beyond. All ELUMs are considered eligible for inclusion in these lists unless they submit an opt-out form.
- ELAM Conference Call Service: The ELAM program offers all ELUMs the free use of its conference call service. ELUM groups (e.g. Learning Communities, special interest groups, etc.) are welcome to use this service to hold phone meetings and
conduct activities. - ELAM Community Contacts: For ELUMs interviewing for a new position and contemplating a move, ELAM can provide a list of ELUMs and their contact information at that institution or in that location.
- Support for Group Activities: ELAM staff can assist and support class events (e.g. 5- and 10-year reunion celebrations) and other activities (e.g. regional get-togethers).
- And of course, receiving the ELAM Edge!
If you have any questions about how to utilize
any of these benefits, please contact us at [email protected] or 215.991.8240.

ELUMs Nadine Kaslow (ELAM '04), and Susan McDaniel (ELAM '12) have had major leadership roles in the recent decisions made by the American Psychological Association. Both have been quoted in several media including the July 31, 2015 article in the New York Times, U.S. Psychologists Urged to Curb Questioning Terror Suspects. We are proud to see the grace and thoughtfulness they brought to a very sensitive and important issue. Our nation is in a better place as a result of their APA presidencies.
Cathy Lynch, M.D. (ELAM '13) is author of a new AAMC Group on Women in Medicine and Science Toolkit: A Case Study: Creative Faculty Development through your GWIMS Office. This toolkit focuses on the way in which the University of South Florida's Women's Health Collaborative has been able to vastly expand their institution's faculty development programming through their WIMS organization. This toolkit features steps taken by the Women's Health Collaborative to increase women's faculty development through networking, mechanisms that foster engaging mentorship experiences, and methods of funding development programming. The toolkit can be found on the GWIMS website here.
ELUM Edith Mitchell (ELAM '09) was interviewed as part of a story for the National Public Radio, 50 Years Ago, Medicare Helped To Desegregate Hospitals.

Articles of Note
University of Maryland, Robert H. Smith School of Business, News at Smith, March 25, 2015:
Companies work fairly hard to place one woman -- but only one -- in a top management position, according to research by Cristian Desző, an associate professor at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, and two co-authors. The article found evidence of a "quota" effect: Once a company had appointed one woman to a top-tier job, the chances of a second woman landing an elite position at the same firm drop substantially -- by about 50 percent, in fact.
LinkedIn Pulse, July 19, 2015:
Listening is the most powerful skill a leader can master. Good listening skills in this digital era due to information overload and shortened attention span is fast becoming an endangered species.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, July 22, 2015:
This is a challenging time for higher education. Securing funds for operations continues to be daunting. Public universities are continually reminded that there is little appetite among state legislatures for increased budgets. There are frequent alarms about the pace of tuition increases. Campus leaders are confronted by increasing competition from many directions. Demographic trends foreshadow a shrinking pool of applicants. And dire predictions about the impending technological disruption to the conventional educational model suggest that the university, as we know it, is about to go the way of the dinosaur.
LinkedIn Pulse, July 26, 2015:
Our emotions are driven by biological impulses. These biological impulses are beyond our control, but the resulting emotions are not. When emotions are running high, they certainly cannot be ignored - but they can be carefully managed. This is called self-regulation, and it's the quality of emotional intelligence that liberates us from living like hostages to our impulses.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, July 28, 2015:
Seton Hall University's A. Gabriel Esteban talks about how he furthers new strategies while seeking to shift the institution's direction.
Knowledge at Wharton, July 29, 2015:
After analyzing data from some 15,000 interviews, executives from management consulting firm ghSMART found that three fundamental factors drive leadership success. They describe their findings in a new book, Power Score.
LinkedIn Pulse, August 4, 2015:
Novelist Stephen King was recently interviewed in The New York Times about his decades-long obsession with audiobooks. Although he is known for the written word, King credited audio with sharpening his prose, improving the pacing of his narratives and helping him ward off lazy phrases and clich�s.
"If you listen to something on audio, every flaw in a writer's work, the repetitions of words and the clumsy phrases, they all stand out," said King. "As a writer, I say to myself, how will that sound?"
And that's exactly the question presenters should ask themselves as they script their speech or presentation. [Note: this article was written by ELATE Facilitator Cindy DiBiasi.]
Inside Higher Ed, August 5, 2015:
American Society for Microbiology shows that a scientific group with relatively few female speakers can change things dramatically in just a few years.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, August 6, 2015:
How to start building a circle of contacts in a place you aspire to live.
Fast Company, August 7, 2015:
A single word, 10 psychological theories, and real-world proof that we consistently underestimate our ability to influence others.
