6th Annual Leadership Training Program (LTP)
We are no longer accepting applications for the 2008 LTP. The CAM Leadership Training Program (LTP) is the experience of a lifetime. 20 medical students from across the country will gather on the campus of the Omega Institute for a five-day, intensive retreat dedicated to complementary and alternative medicine and leadership skills training. Our expectation is that these 20 students will go on to become the future generation of leaders in CAM education in their medical schools and beyond. The 2008 LTP is supported by the Samueli Institute for Information Biology, the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies and individual donors. During the LTP, students will learn from expert facilitators about a number of CAM topics, such as acupuncture, evidence-based research and mind-body medicine. Stress reduction, wellness, and nutrition will also be emphasized throughout the week as students will enjoy healthy meals and will have opportunities to take classes in meditation, yoga, and movement. To enhance leadership skills, LTP facilitators will host sessions on public speaking, teamwork, grant writing and other activities designed to make YOU a more effective advocate for CAM. In addition, each participant will plan a project to increase CAM awareness at his or her school. The LTP facilitators will host sessions throughout the week to help you make your project a success!
The cost of accommodations, programming, and meals for the LTP will be subsidized by AMSA. We ask that students seek out the support of their Dean of Students to cover travel expenses. AMSA has prepared a letter for you to give your dean describing the LTP and asking for support. Don't be shy--for years, medical schools have provided financial support to students attending other AMSA leadership training workshops and fellowships. All you have to do is ask!
