Description
Summary:Background Junior to mid-career medical faculty often move into administrative and leadership roles without formal leadership training. Many national leadership training programs target senior rather than junior faculty. Aim To address the leadership development needs of junior and mid-career faculty. Setting Sessions at annual meetings combined with online learning, independent work, and leadership coaching. Participants 79 junior-mid-career general internal medicine (GIM) faculty enrolled in five consecutive annual cohorts from 2014 to 2018. Program Description LEAD scholars participate in a full-day anchor session followed by selected workshops during the annual meeting. They then participate in monthly online sessions, complete a project, interview a senior leader, and receive leadership coaching from senior GIM faculty. Program Evaluation Post-program evaluation indicated the LEAD program was effective in helping participants understand what it means to be a good leader (93%, 37/40), become a more reflective leader (90%, 35/39), and apply principles of leadership to increase effectiveness in their role (88%, 34/39). Discussion LEAD provides junior-mid-career medical faculty an opportunity to learn effective leadership skills and build a network.
