Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) – has a number of short professional development programs with different aims.

There are a few that I know about that are longstanding and have good reputations.
- Organizational Leadership in Academic Medicine for New Associate Deans and Chairs
- Minority Faculty Leadership Development Seminar
- Early Career Women Faculty Professional Development Seminar
- Mid-career Women Faculty Professional Development Seminar
Harvard School of Public Health Executive and Continuing Professional Education. Access the overall programs catalog. Some of the programs I am familiar with are:
Harvard School of Graduate Education. The overall catalog for The Harvard Institutes of Higher Education Programs. These are excellent if you want a broader view of leadership in academia. There are two main programs, long-standing and well-regarded, and taught in the Harvard case manner. Others are focused at the top leadership level:
American Council on Education (ACE). The long-standing ACE Fellows program has produced many university and college executive leaders.
Alpha Omega Alpha. Fellow in Leadership.
Programs for Gender Equity in Academia and Beyond. Besides the short AAMC programs, there are three more in-depth programs that are based in the U.S. and also have international fellows. All have excellent reputations and active alumnae groups.
