The most informative sessions for me were those lending deeper insights into how academic medical centers work
I really appreciated the session on “ Courage at Work .” Most of us understand that speaking up comes with risk , but the speaker challenged us to understand that not speaking up also comes with risks , and that sometimes , there are more benefits to taking action .
The AAMC meeting did an incredible job creating a safe space that allowed me a chance to see who I am not who I think I need to be . But with that earnest self - reflective moment , I was gifted a chance to see my joy and hope for change and celebrate it .
in terms of leadership , governance structures ,
accountability , and finances . Overall , I thought the seminar was well worth the time for faculty who are in leadership positions and / or are considering taking on leadership role .
