Kellogg, American Orthopaedic Association plan series of leadership seminars

The Health Industry Management Program (HIM) and the American Orthopaedic Association (AOA) have joined force to present a series of three leadership development programs that will be held at the James L. Allen Center on the Evanston Campus. The programs will be offered over the next several years beginning November 7-9, 2003. HIM’s Joel Shalowitz, MD and Jim Drury are working with AOA Executive Director Tom Stauzenbach to develop the programs. The AOA seeks to empower and amplify the skills of orthopaedic surgeons and to develop leaders in the field by providing the tools and resources needed to lead more effectively. The programs will further this goal by encouraging participants to think and act effectively both inside and outside the practice setting. Participants will be given an opportunity to learn about leadership as it relates to business issues, community involvement, professional and advisory appointment, as well as governance issues. HIM and Kellogg were selected competitively over Harvard, Wharton and several other schools to develop this programming for AOA.
