Announcing ELAM's New
Associate Director
We are pleased to share the official announcement of the appointment of Nancy Spector, MD (ELUM 2010), as Drexel College of Medicine Associate Dean for Faculty Development and ELAM's new associate director. A professor of pediatrics, Dr. Spector has served as associate chair for education and faculty development for the Department of Pediatrics at Drexel University College of Medicine since 2007 and has been the program director for the Pediatric Residency program at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children since 2012. You can read the official announcement here.
Since September, Nancy has been observing in the ELAM classroom and participating in staff meetings while also serving as an advisor for the Saraswati '16 Learning Community. This role as associate director is a first step towards her eventually assuming the role as ELAM's next program director. She and Diane are having a great time planning for future Fellowship and alumnae programs. Nancy will facilitate a Leading Forward session at the conclusion of the ELUM program on January 17 in North Carolina. We look forward to hearing your ideas about strengthening this community!

ELUM News
AAMC CFAS News, December 18, 2015:
In her final "Research Perspectives" post, AAMC Chief Scientific Officer Ann Bonham, PhD (ELAM '02), writes about the "enormous impact" medical schools and teaching hospitals have on the universe of scientific discovery and research. "As I look back on my time as Chief Scientific Officer at the AAMC, I remember most fondly the privilege I've had to work with so many dedicated institutional leaders, faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, medical students, and residents. They are the bedrock of our medical research enterprise," she writes. Dr. Bonham will be leaving the AAMC this month to pursue interests in health care disparities and health equity.

Articles of Note
American Scientist, Vol. 103, No. 6, November-December 2015:
I am one of the many women who exited academic science. Decades later, too many others are still leaving for the same reasons.
The Huffington Post, December 15, 2015:
The human rights experts concluded that the country falls far behind most others.

The New York Times, December 19, 2015:
TWO years ago, a student of mine named Nicole was torn on where to start her career. While applying for jobs in finance, technology, consulting and marketing, she suddenly realized that her biggest concern wasn't what she did, but where she worked.
When it comes to landing a good job, many people focus on the role. Although finding the right title, position and salary is important, there's another consideration that matters just as much: culture. The culture of a workplace - an organization's values, norms and practices - has a huge impact on our happiness and success.
Fast Company Leadership, January 3, 2016:
These are the Leadership stories you read and shared the most this year.
Inside Higher Ed, January 4, 2016:
If you want to diversify your leadership to close the gender gap, it is not enough to establish goals and expectations, writes Jeremy Haefner. You must also put support systems into place.

The Last Word
Funny, but really not so:
BMJ, 2015, 351:
Moustachioed individuals significantly outnumber women as leaders of medical departments in the US.
And to close out the holidays:
AAMC CFAS News, December 31, 2015:
The Detroit News recently published an article, "Doctors Wish You Some Kind of Christmas," describing a Michigan State University College of Human Medicine idea to send out nearly indecipherable holiday greetings scrawled out by actual physicians, which blossomed into a contest for the most illegible doctor handwriting. Apparently, it required in some cases the precision of surgeons to decipher the notes.
