Background:

There is an ongoing call for leadership development in academic health care and medical students desire more training in this area. Although many schools offer combined MD/MBA programs or leadership training in targeted areas, these programs do not often align with medical school leadership competencies and are limited in reaching a large number of students.

Methods:

The Leadership Initiative (LI) was a program created by a partnership between a School of Medicine (SOM) and Business School with a learning model that emphasized the progression from principles to practice, and the competencies of self-awareness, communication, and collaboration/teamwork. Through offerings across a medical school curriculum, the LI introduced leadership principles and provided an opportunity to apply them in an interactive activity or simulation. We utilized the existing SOM evaluation platform to collect data on program outcomes that included satisfaction, fidelity to the learning model, and impact.

Results:

From 2017 to 2020, over 70% of first-year medical students participated in LI course offerings while a smaller percentage of fourth-year students engaged in the curriculum. Most students had no prior awareness of LI course material and were equivocal about their ability to apply lessons learned to their medical school experience. Students reported that the LI offerings provided opportunities to practice the skills and competencies of self-awareness, communication, and collaboration/teamwork.

Discussion:

Adding new activities to an already crowded medical curriculum was the greatest logistical challenge. The LI was successful in introducing leadership principles but faced obstacles in having participants apply and practice these principles. Most students reported that the LI offerings were aligned with the foundational competencies.

通过商学院合作模式发展医学生领导力：案例研究和实施策略

背景：

人们一直在呼吁在学术医疗保健领域发展领导力，而医学生希望在这一领域得到更多的培训。尽管许多学校在目标领域提供联合医学博士/工商管理硕士课程或领导力培训，但这些课程通常不符合医学院的领导能力，并且在接触大量学生方面受到限制。

方法：

领导力倡议 (LI) 是由医学院 (SOM) 和商学院合作创建的一项计划，其学习模式强调从原则到实践的进展，以及自我意识、沟通和协作的能力/团队合作。通过医学院课程中的课程，LI 引入了领导原则，并提供了将其应用到互动活动或模拟中的机会。我们利用现有的 SOM 评估平台来收集有关项目成果的数据，包括满意度、对学习模型的忠诚度和影响。

结果：

从 2017 年到 2020 年，超过 70% 的一年级医学生参加了 LI 课程，而较小比例的四年级学生参与了该课程。大多数学生事先不了解 LI 课程材料，并且对他们将所学经验应用于医学院经验的能力模棱两可。学生们报告说，LI 课程提供了练习自我意识、沟通和协作/团队合作的技能和能力的机会。

讨论：

在已经拥挤的医学课程中增加新的活动是最大的后勤挑战。LI 成功地引入了领导原则，但在让参与者应用和实践这些原则方面遇到了障碍。大多数学生报告说，LI 课程与基础能力相一致。
