Career Development for Women Leaders Program
The Office of Women in Medicine and Science's (OWIMS) {formerly the Women’s Health Center of Excellence for Research, Leadership, Education} Leadership & Mentoring Program is pleased to announce the development of a new professional development fellowship, the Career Development for Women Leaders (CDWL)** Program, which began in January 2008.
** Formerly Career Development Seminar for Emerging Women Leaders
The CDWL fellowship, modeled after national programs for women in academic medicine, covers 9 one-day sessions and spans 9 months. Because national leadership programs for women (AAMC, ELAM, CCL, BRIDGES) are becoming increasingly competitive and expensive and only a few faculty members can benefit each year, the purposes of the cross-campus CDWL program are to provide:
- an affordable, university-based leadership development program for women who are either currently in or aspire to leadership roles at Wake Forest;
- a local, national level quality experience that allows more women to participate in leadership education; and
- bring women together from diverse professional backgrounds (theater, math, anesthesiology) to exchange ideas and foster cross-campus collaboration.
Presenters were nationally and internationally known experts, executive coaches and senior WFU faculty and administrators. All presenters are highly respected in their content areas.
