Issue: In an effort to encourage more allied health professionals to consider leadership positions in higher education, particularly at the dean level and related, the executive board of the Association of Schools Advancing Health Professions approved the creation of a leadership development program (LDP) for individuals in ASAHP member institutions in 2005. This presentation addresses the history of this program, the curriculum and learning objectives, and the results thus far after eight iterations of the program. Educational Model: Based upon leadership development research in higher education and business, faculty in the ASAHP LDP developed the program in a one-year format, meeting at the then-spring and fall conferences. Since 2005 the format has been altered based on feedback from faculty and participants, as well as updates in higher education leadership research. This program will briefly discuss the evolution of the program and highlight the current (2022 format), learning objectives, activities, and possible topics for the future. Key critical topics in higher education are covered with each group, changing over time to reflect issues in health schools of participants. Each year subgroups within the LDP investigate a topic for investigation and present at the fall ASAHP conference with some groups publishing their work. Observations/Outcomes: Outcomes and participant job titles and roles will be highlighted. Information as we know it will be presented re "what happens to people in this program." Past participants will be invited to report the advantages of this program in their career and the presenters will talk about reasons for altering the curriculum. Conclusion: The presentation will encourage current deans to nominate potential leaders on their campuses and attendees at the ASAHP conference will be encouraged to apply for the program with the support of their deans. There will be ample opportunity for questions about past programs and suggestions for upcoming topics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
