"The workshop was very well organized. This was a true leadership course that touched on the most important issues of academic leadership. I was very impressed with the quality and the depth of instruction balanced with group discussions and self-assessments. For me, as a department administrator, it was extremely valuable to examine the faculty (including Chairs and Deans) perspective on administrative issues and leadership."
Dima Long, University of Washington, School of Pharmacy
"CAAMP was one of the best continuing education experiences I have ever had. I learned about how I can be a more effective leader and how the culture and other unique aspects of higher education affect change."
Dr. Steven E. Roberts, Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine
"Being appointed to a new director position, this program has been invaluable. It has provided me with the basics to use as a foundation for my new role. I believe it will hopefully allow me to avoid pitfalls that a new director would make due to lack of experience."
Veronica Bandy, University of the Pacific, Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
"There are times in Academics when you are faced with a situation that is so perplexing you feel as if you are all alone without a clear path out. Participating in CAAMP, I realized that there are others who are having or have had similar experiences and we were given effective tools to manage and reduce the likelihood of such occurrences. It may not be a comfortable
path out given individual tendencies but it is a path and a chance to grow and operate outside those tendencies."
Tim Durham, University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry
"Overall, excellent course for those considering administrative appointments and for those who currently hold these roles. Also, I was able to get new ideas for current tasks [to] take home and apply. This is the best reinforcement. Excellent facilitators of productive and meaningful discussions."
Cathy Peterson, University of the Pacific, Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
"I would be willing to provide a 'testimonial' as to the value of the program and in particular, would be willing to attest to the effectiveness of the CAAMP as well as ITL program to help clinicians make the transition from private practice to academics."
