ADEA Summer Program for Emerging Academic Leaders 

Many current leaders in academic dentistry are alumni of the AADS Summer Program Career Development for Faculty Leaders: An Immersion Workshop. ADEA has recreated and refreshed this well-regarded program for junior faculty members, whether joining faculty after a residency or after private practice. This three and half day program covers topics such as leadership styles, team building and time management that are essential to planning and implementing a successful academic career.  This highly interactive immersion program has been designed specifically to give junior faculty guidance, insight and skills to propel their career. The face-to-face instruction ends on July 15 but the collaborative learning experience continues via quarterly video conferences throughout the year. 

Learning Objectives of the ADEA Summer Program:

• Understand current major topics and trends in academic dentistry
• Appreciate the culture of academic dental institutions and how to work successfully within a school’s culture
• Discover opportunities for involvement in ADEA for professional development and leadership
