Featured in Academic Medicine, March 2007 and established in 2003,
the Woodruff Leadership Academy (WLA) combines a program of classroom
sessions, off-site team projects, and weekend retreats to motivate
professionals and managers within the Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences
Center to develop, exercise, and strengthen individual leadership
potential. Each year's class of fellows is an extraordinary group
of researchers, physicians, educators, and adminisrators.
The WLA is designed to maximize opportunities for fellows to discover
new approaches and capabilities necessary to thrive in an academic
health center. This program develops managerial and technical expertise,
as well as interpersonal, communications, and presentation skills
necessary to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing health care
landscape.
The Woodruff Leadership is made possible by support from the Robert
W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center Fund.

The Robert
W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center (WHSC) encompasses
components of Emory University responsible for education of health
professionals, research affecting health and illness, patient care,
and policies for prevention and treatment of disease.
