Applications are open: AAMC Early Career Women Faculty Leadership Development Seminar (EWIMS)


The AAMC Early Career Women Faculty Leadership Development Seminar (EWIMS) application portal is now open! The EWIMS is designed for women physicians and scientists with a minimum of two years of experience (July 2022) as an Assistant Professor and are pursuing academic promotion and leadership roles. The application is on a “first come, first serve” basis, and will be open until Friday, March 8, 2024, 5:00 pm EST.  Please note that institutional support (e.g., letter from division chief or department chair) is not required for the application.
As part of our commitment to promoting the advancement of women within the GW Medical Enterprise, the CBH Society will be working with the Senior Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs to facilitate the process. SMHS can financially support one candidate to attend the upcoming session in July. To be considered for support by the Office of Faculty Affairs, we are asking applicants to do the following:
Prior to submission:
  • Submit application form and CV for review to CBH Executive Committee by Monday March 4th (not required but encouraged)
  • Notify the CBH Executive Committee of intent to apply by emailing clarabliss@email.gwu.edu no later than the application due date above (required)
If selected:
  • Notify CBH Executive Committee via email within one week of acceptance (required)
  • Commit to giving a CBH Society presentation on EWIMS content in AY2024-2025 (required)
Because the AAMC determines the final selection of attendees, we cannot guarantee acceptance to the program OR financial support for all applicants. However, we will work with all applicants to optimize selection chances.
For any questions, please reach out to the CBH Executive Committee (clarabliss@email.gwu.edu) or to the Chair, Dr. Kirsten Brown (kmbrown@gwu.edu).

Tips for Effective Pre-Work

Do you need help motivating your students to complete pre-work that can enhance their learning? Check out this one-pager at https://cfe.smhs.gwu.edu/teaching-tips. One of the primary references for this one-pager is research conducted by Dr. Nicole DeVaul from the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at SMHS, GWU, and Dr. Ellen Goldman from the Graduate School of Education. Their research article, "The Medical Student Experience With Prework," published in the Journal of Medical Education and Curricular Development, explores the factors influencing GW SMHS medical students' motivation to complete pre-work. Be sure to check out both resources and if you need help identifying pre-work your students will be motivated to do, feel free to contact cfe@gwu.edu.
