About
The School of Medicine’s Advanced Leadership Program (ALP) was established in 2004 as a mechanism for providing information and training to new senior leaders in the Vanderbilt Enterprise. The ALP covers topics related both to fundamental leadership principles and to Vanderbilt-specific processes and systems. Among the driving forces behind this program is the increasing complexity of the academic medical center environment and the resulting pressures on the academic enterprise and its leaders. The fundamental goal of the ALP is to help our advanced leaders acquire and develop the skills necessary to succeed in their important leadership roles within the Vanderbilt environment. In addition, experience has demonstrated that group discussions on these important topics are effective in minimizing the likelihood of future unnecessary and unwanted events that can consume significant time and resources of senior leaders.
