Two UCSF School of Dentistry faculty leaders, Linda Centore, RN, PhD, Division Chair of Behavioral Sciences and Community Dental Education, and Susan Hyde, DDS, MPH, PhD, Division Chair of Oral Epidemiology and Dental Public Health, recently completed the 2015 Chairs and Academic Administrators Management Program (CAAMP) in Atlanta. CAAMP is a program of the Academy for Academic Leadership (AAL).
According to AAL project manager Becky Zang, CAAMP is a top-notch leadership and management course designed specifically for department chairs and academic administrators within colleges and schools of the health professions. Since its inception in 2009, nearly 350 administrators from programs in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, allied health and other professions in and out of health care have participated in CAAMP.
AAL is a collaborative of scholars, educational specialists and consultants providing services that help academic leaders pursue educational excellence, the application of knowledge, the discovery of ideas and the quest of lifelong learning.
