The Education Leadership Certificate is meant for faculty and staff who are in leadership roles related to education, or are pursuing such roles. Participants will learn about leadership theories and styles, and discover their own strengths as leaders to support others and to engage in change management towards social justice in health professions education. Participants should come with at least a basic understanding of the ways in which systemic and interpersonal bias impact our learning environments and learners, and prior participation in Educators Essentials or other faculty development focused on these topics is strongly encouraged. Certificate completion requires participation in 2 full day in-person sessions (part 1 and part 2, to be taken in order), as well as an experiential activity of your choosing (approximate time commitment 2 hours).

Target Audience: This certificate is only open to faculty and staff from UCSF schools and targets those who have educational leadership positions or are on a career trajectory towards such positions. This certificate is not open to learners.
