The ADEA Emerging Leaders Program is a professional development program organized by the American Dental Education Association (ADEA). The program aims to identify and develop future leaders in dental education and prepare them for leadership roles within academic institutions, professional organizations, and other related entities. The program typically offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers various aspects of leadership in dental education, including leadership styles, strategic planning, effective communication, conflict resolution, financial management, and advocacy. Participants have the opportunity to engage in interactive workshops, collaborative projects, networking activities, and mentorship opportunities. The ADEA Emerging Leaders Program is designed for early- to mid-career dental educators who have demonstrated leadership potential and a commitment to advancing dental education. Participants are selected through a competitive application process, and those accepted into the program benefit from the knowledge and skills gained during the program to enhance their leadership capabilities.
