Hospital librarians with appropriate experience and career goals are especially encouraged to consider application to the following opportunity.

The Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries is pleased to announce the 2006-2007 year of the leadership program jointly sponsored by the National Library of Medicine and AAHSL. The NLM/AAHSL Leadership Fellows Program, focused on preparing emerging leaders for director positions in academic health center libraries, offers the opportunity to work closely with a mentor and to work collaboratively with other fellows and mentors. Applicants with management experience in academic health center libraries, hospital libraries, or other library-related settings are encouraged. The multi-faceted program takes advantage of flexible scheduling and an online learning community.

Jo Dorsch, 2003-2004 fellow, said, "The fellowship created an instant nationwide network fueled by the shared experience. The relationships I developed with my mentor and the fellows continue to evolve and are a valued source of advice, support, and friendship."

The deadline for applications for fellows and mentors for the 2006-2007 class is August 18, 2006.
