Abstract
Introduction: The Hedwig von Ameringen Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine program (ELAM) is a national professional development program for women that includes institutional action projects (IAPs). Although benefits of ELAM participation are well documented, the value of the IAPs has not been specifically evaluated. We explored the experience of ELAM Fellows and leaders from one institution to elucidate how institutional factors influence project implementation and outcomes. Methods: Fellows and deans participated in semistructured interviews. We analyzed the transcripts qualitatively to develop themes and describe factors that influenced IAP implementation and outcomes. We used the New World Kirkpatrick Model, an updated version of the widely used Kirkpatrick model of educational program evaluation, as a framework to elucidate how participants applied their leadership learning through project work, and to analyze early results of projects that indicated institutional impact. Results: Project work had bidirectional impact on the fellows in the program and on the institution itself. Project enablers included: focusing projects on institutional priorities, obtaining sustainable support, and navigating institutional complexity. Leading indicators of institutional outcomes included contributions to institutional leadership and culture, and mutual enhancement of the reputation of the fellow and of the institution. Discussion: By examining enablers and barriers for institutionally based projects conducted in a national leadership development program, we identified the drivers that facilitated application of leadership learning. Leading indicators of project outcomes reflected bidirectional impact on fellows and the institution, demonstrating outcomes at the highest levels of the New World Kirkpatrick Model.
