Course Overview/Statement of Need
The success of the "actionable knowledge" pillar of the ACC's strategic plan depends upon ongoing contributions from talented, expert clinicians. Emerging faculty must be identified and guided into both the ACC teaching fold and leadership positions. Completion of this course provides additional opportunities for engagement in various roles across the College, particularly those aligned to ACC educational activities.
A grant from The Michael Wolk Heart Foundation, along with a direct investment from the ACC, supports the 2022 Rick Nishimura, MD, MACC and Patrick T. O'Gara, MD, MACC Emerging Faculty Leadership Academy.
One ACC W. Proctor Harvey, MD Young Teacher awardee will be selected from among the Emerging Faculty Leadership Academy participants. This award is presented for the purpose of identifying, recognizing, and honoring young members of the College who have distinguished themselves by their dedication and skill in teaching, and to stimulate the awardees to continue their careers in education. The ACC W. Proctor Harvey, MD Young Teacher awardee receives a $5000 award along with complimentary registration and transportation for the subsequent ACC Annual Scientific Session.
