Attention 📣 all new and tenured leaders! Looking to hone your skills? is now accepting applications for the Bridging Leaders Program '23, Fall Cohort, running from November 10, 2023, to January 19, 2024.

This program has been co-developed by the McMaster Program for Faculty Development & McMaster Department of Medicine.

The ability to bridge between worlds as a leader is a must-have skill, but one that is rarely operationalized. For example, leaders in Canadian academic health sciences centres (AHSCs) are often invested in one of two sides: the university or hospital/health systems side. Rarely are the two worlds well bridged, and as a result, there is a growing divide between the academics and the hospital administrators of our AHSCs. The solutions for most problems, however, often require both parties within the leadership of the AHSCs to have a deep empathy and understanding of each others’ priorities and interests.

Applications are due Oct 16, 2023! View the full details online bit.ly/3qwf8vq
