    The Maximizing Impact and Networks for Faculty Advancement and Community (MINFAC) Leadership Development Seminar brings together junior faculty from across the United States and provides participants with real-world guidance and tools for pursuing career advancement in academic medicine. Utilizing a strengths-based approach informed by the experiences of MINFAC attendees, the seminar will help participants develop key professional competencies that build skills in grant writing and communications, while expanding their network of colleagues and role models from a wide variety of backgrounds.

    For more than 30 years, the MINFAC seminar has helped faculty navigate the "hidden curriculum" that defines success through programming tailored for faculty who have experienced the greatest challenges advancing in academic medicine. MINFAC program alumni in leadership roles make up the majority of speakers at the seminar, providing valuable wisdom alongside interactive learning sessions and career consultations.

    Who Should Attend?

    Junior faculty (senior clinical and research fellows, instructors, and assistant professors) and post docs (MD, DO/PhD and PhD) who aspire to leadership positions in academic medicine and seek information and community support navigating advancement opportunities.

    Faculty at the associate professor rank should instead attend the Mid-Career MINFAC Leadership Development Seminar later this fall. 

    The Early Bird Discount for program fees deadline is May 6 - Please share with your networks, and consider attending if this program fits your needs! Feel free to reach out to me (rhenyard@aamc.org) if you have any additional questions.
