The AACEM Chair Development Program (CDP) provides emergency medicine (EM)-focused leadership training for academic chairs and those interested in becoming EM chairs. The CDP began in 2014.This report describes the CDP second 5-year cohort from 2018 to 2023. A total of 102 participants completed the program during this time period with increased enrollment of women leaders. Seventeen participants who were not chairs at entry have become EM chairs. Quantitative and qualitative data based on a survey of participants demonstrate continued highly favorable assessment of the CDP and likelihood to recommend it to others. The CDP remains a popular and successful training experience to develop leadership skills, foster a leadership network, and prepare EM leaders for academic chair positions.
