We have a few spots left in the Health Care Management Division Emerging
Scholars Consortium at the AOM meeting in Boston, and would welcome doctoral
students and recent graduates interested in
Making new connections in a welcoming atmosphere: Currently registered
participants include students and PhDs from the US, Canada, the UK,
Australia, and Taiwan. The Consortium will also benefit from presentations
by established scholars who are eager to meet and support new researchers.
Learning how to make teaching fun and effective: The opening session on
teaching essentials can help you prepare for your first class or re-tool to
use instructional time more effectively and enjoyably. Topics will include
syllabus development, classroom policies, and managing classroom activities.
Expanding your tool kit to maximize research productivity: Moving from
Data to Publication through Management of Data, People, and Processes will
provide nuts-and-bolts advice on getting and preparing data, figuring out
whats publishable, and managing the publication process.
Navigating key decisions in the early years after degree completion: Lunch
time discussion groups will focus on PhD completion, postdoctoral
fellowships, and other career-related decisions.
Procuring US federal funding for organizational research: This Friday
afternoon session is an opportunity to learn about research funding from the
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, National Institutes of Health,
and National Science Foundation.
We do ask participants in the Emerging Scholars Consortium to commit to stay
from 8 am at least through lunch on Friday. To register, please go to
