The SACME Inaugural Summer Leadership Institute (SLI) starts today here at Johns Hopkins. In attendance will be 20 individuals in leadership roles within CME who are attending to help advance their skills. By attending, these individuals demonstrate a commitment to their personal development and growth.
The majority of the attendees come from university settings, but a still significant number come from teaching hospital and professional society practices. Attendees come principally from US and Canadian practices. The attendees match the intended audience as they serve in roles that range from Directors of CME offices to Associate Deans of CME, Professional Development, and/or Medical Education.
Several of the attendees are relatively new to their role in education while the majority has served in this capacity for a longer period of time. The attendees have identified enablers and barriers to change in their environment and these are not too surprisingly relatively consistent across the group.
Stay tuned for future blogs on the outcomes and results of the inaugural SACME SLI!
