This session will be the first in a series of 4 focusing on leadership skills for resident physicians. Resident physicians, particularly as they transition into seniors and beyond, need to lead various work/multi-disciplinary teams. Residents/physicians are often not taught how to be an effective leader. Leadership skills are teachable and can be improved with deliberate practice.
The sessions will encompass the following topics:
-
Introduction to Leadership/Leadership Styles
-
Emotional Intelligence/Core Values
-
Communication and Conflict Management
-
Team Building and Leading Change
Session Length: 50-55 minutes
Prerequisite(s): None
