Leadership Minute
This month’s AUPN Leadership Minute, introduced by Don Higgins (Univ. of Albany) and presented by Adam Newsom of Merritt Hawkins, a physician recruitment firm, reviews a never-ending concern of most chairs, “Recruitment and Retention of Faculty”. Understanding the relationship between the recruitment and retention of faculty is vital to the growth and success of every neurology department. The well documented shortage of neurologists in the US makes having an effective program essential. Tune into this month’s leadership minute for advice from an expert!

Register for AUPN Spring Programs!
New Chairs Round Table: Friday, May 5th, 2pm - 4pm CDT/3pm – 5pm EDT
The AUPN's Annual New Chairs Round Table will again be virtual this year. This is an opportunity for experienced mentor chairs (3+ years’ experience) to meet with new(er) chairs (0-3 years’ experience) and provide advice on how to manage their new role. The focus of the session will be to find out what the new chairs need, answer specific questions and inform them about AUPN resources and mentorship opportunities.
AUPN Spring Chairs Session: Friday, May 12th, 2pm - 4pm CDT/3pm – 5pm EDT
The topic for this year is “Navigating hospital partners and large healthcare systems.” There are a wide variety of administrative and financial relationships between hospitals and their affiliated medical schools and departments. Hospitals may be owned by the university or only have a contractual relationship with the medical school. Neurology chairs must learn how to navigate these complex relationships. The session will be moderated by Jun Li (Houston Methodist). Speakers will include Gil Wolfe (SUNY Buffalo) who will discuss “How to negotiate with hospital partners that are not fully aligned with your academic missions?” Dane Chetkovich (Vanderbilt) will present “Strategies to expand clinical footprints through partnership with regional hospitals,” and Matthew Fink (Weill Cornell) will explore “What does the hospital CEO think and want from chairs?”
Women Leaders in Neurology: Friday, May 19th, 2pm - 4pm CDT/3pm – 5pm EDT
This year’s session, chaired by Claire Henchcliffe (Univ. of Callifornia, Irvine) and Alyssa Willis (Univ. of Mississippi), will focus on the challenges facing women developing as leaders in academic neurology. Invited speakers include Barbara Vickrey (Mount Sinai/Icahn) and Carlayne Jackson (Univ. of Texas San Antonio). The panel will describe their own paths and observations of successful women leaders, and discuss how to deal with microaggressions, when to take credit for success while promoting mentees, and how to develop resilience. Speakers will also identify formal and informal resources to support leadership development, whether on the “front lines”, “middle lines” or in other roles.
