Six Department of Medicine faculty members named 2022 Woodruff Leadership Academy fellows

In 2003, Emory’s Woodruff Health Sciences Center launched the Woodruff Leadership Academy (WLA) in honor of Mr. Woodruff and in recognition of his superb leadership ability. WLA develops leadership competencies needed in an academic health center, as well as the interpersonal, communications, and presentation skills necessary to meet the challenges of the rapidly changing landscape in research, education, and health care. The screening process for this prestigious program is extremely selective, and the WLA fellows are chosen from a large pool of stellar candidates each year.
