The Association of Academic Chairs in Emergency Medicine (AACEM) and the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) are proud to offer the Emerging Leader Development Program (eLEAD). This year-long course provides emerging leaders in academic emergency medicine with a structured, longitudinal experience designed to develop foundational leadership skills, cultivate a meaningful career network, and build a bridge to countless opportunities in their field.   

The ideal candidate for this course is an emergency medicine faculty member at least five years post residency completion with experience from an existing or past mid-level leadership position, such as Assistant/Associate/new Medical Director, Assistant/Associate/new Program Director, or an institutional/regional/national service leadership position.

The year-long course will begin at the SAEM Annual Meeting, which takes place May 14-17, 2024 in Phoenix, AZ. Monthly didactic sessions and interactive discussions will follow, and the course's final session will be celebrated at SAEM25.

Course Fee: $1,450

The course fee includes tuition and meals for in-person workshops. Travel costs and accommodations are the responsibility of the participants.
