Abstract:
Leadership is a skill that all surgeons are confronted with in some capacity. Surprisingly, in the US most training programs do not offer a structured program in leadership and there certainly are no metrics used to assess leadership competency. As a response to this, at the Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery, a panel of leaders in vascular surgery both national and international along with leadership experts discussed some of the salient issues in this space. This article is the result of this discussion and serves as a good framework for understanding needs and current shortcomings of leadership training.
