The Hedwig Ameringen Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM) Program at Drexel University College of Medicine selected Elizabeth Kimberli Peck, M.D., as a 2013-2014 Class Fellow.

Peck, the associate dean of Admissions at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) School of Medicine, will be a part of this 19th incoming class for ELAM. ELAM is the only program in North America dedicated to preparing women for senior leadership roles in academic health sciences institutions, where they enhance institutional leadership diversity while contributing to organizational strategy and innovation.

Each fellow is supported by the dean or other senior official of her institution in her nomination for the program and continued mentorship. Steven L. Berk, M.D., executive vice president, provost and TTUHSC School of Medicine dean, said this is a prestigious honor.

“Dr. Peck will represent us among the 54 fellows from across the country including the National Institutes of Health, Harvard Medical School and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, just to name a few,” Berk said. “Her contributions as a physician, teacher and associate dean, make Dr. Peck an exceptional choice to join this community of highly accomplished leaders.”
