medicine. The program consists of 7 two-hour sessions held monthly on Thursday mornings

The two “personal journey” luncheon (boxed lunches provided) sessions are optional but
highly recommended. Speakers are to-be-announced and will be faculty members discussing
their personal journeys in academic medicine. RSVP is required; invitations will be sent upon
entrance into the JFLP program.
Recommended Optional Session: Speak Like a Pro
(Speak Like a Pro I: March 11th & Speak Like a Pro II: April 8th)
Speak Like a Pro, is two-part, optional half-day session taught taught by Karen Storey, CFP
through the regular OFD catalog. Faculty members win grants and build reputations based (to
some extent) on their ability to speak with confidence to large groups of people. Speak Like a
Pro offers the knowledge, skills, and abilities you need for effective presentations. You’ll learn
proven techniques for planning, practicing, and delivering public presentations. Further, you
will receive expert feedback from your instructor, as well as personal responses and insights
from your classmates. Focus on managing stage fright and maintaining composure in front of
any audience. Voice and body language are explored as an effective communication tool. Key
ways of adding maximum impact are discussed along with ways of preparing quickly and
confidently for any presentation. For this special session, class size will be limited to 7- 10
people per session. Come prepared to speak for 3-5 minutes on a professional topic of your
choice. You will be videotaped and receive feedback on your strengths and areas that need
improvement. You must register for this additional experience; a form will be provided in the
first session.
What if I have to miss a session?
Many of the sessions will require team activities. For participants who are selected into a
cohort, attendance is required for 5 of the 7 sessions. With each new cohort, class dates will be
sent to previous participants, and you will be welcome to attend any session that you have had
to miss. Please do not apply to the program unless you are confident that your schedule will
allow you to attend all the sessions. When you must miss a session due to illness or an
emergency, you may have the opportunity to audit the session with a future cohort.
