Summary
Pediatric residents found a new clinical leadership curriculum highly useful, with 96% recommending its continuation. This program addresses the lack of standardized leadership training for physicians in residency.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Physician Leadership Development
Background:
- Clinical leadership is crucial for physicians to enhance patient care.
- Current residency programs lack standardized clinical leadership training, leading to trial-and-error learning.
- Pediatric residents often learn leadership skills through observation rather than formal curricula.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and implement a skills-based, longitudinal clinical leadership curriculum for pediatric residents.
- To address the identified gap in formal leadership education during medical residency.
Main Methods:
- The curriculum was developed using Kern's 6-step model and ACGME professionalism competencies.
- Needs assessments and evidence-based practices informed curriculum content.
- Implementation involved monthly facilitated group sessions and independent learning modules.
Main Results:
- 44 pediatric residents (PGY-2 and PGY-3) participated.
- 85% of surveyed residents found the leadership sessions useful.
- 96% of respondents recommended continuing the curriculum.
Conclusions:
- The clinical leadership curriculum was well-received by pediatric residents.
- Future plans include piloting the curriculum in other specialties and institutions.

1.4K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
