Description:

The annual Innovations in Leadership Program is designed to foster professionalism across the continuum of medical education, i.e., faculty, physicians, residents, nurses, and medical students.

 

The program is based on the two principles of Integration and Leadership. By integration, we mean that professionalism must be modeled, reinforced, and recognized simultaneously among all levels of learners in the clinic in order to promote change. By leadership, we mean that professionalism requires self-initiated learning and quality enhancement efforts by the learner, not passive recognition of concepts.

 

Faculty, physicians, residents, nurses, medical students and nursing students participate in the program. Each participant was selected owing to stature and reputation as a leader in his or her peer group. Over the course of four weeks, the participants developed their skills in communication, team building, and conflict management.

Participants were assigned to a team to create an “application project” in which they could utilize their newly honed skills.  Each team chose an area of concern to them and designed a project to address this perceived need of the medical center. Previous year's projects focused on improving communication among physicians, patients, staff and researchers. The application projects are unveiled by team members at a meeting of the medical center leadership and are presented at other gatherings of decision makers within the health system.

 

The main initial measures of the effectiveness of the program will be; (1) the success of the application projects in stimulating new initiatives among the committees to which they are referred, and; (2) the success in recruiting the faculty and resident participants to mentorship roles in our new Honors in Bioethics & Professionalism program for medical students.

 

Graduates of this annual program will be invited to participate in new clinical mentoring programs and professionalism initiatives in the school of medicine.  

 

A partial sampling of these team presentation project videos are included here for your viewing. The attached videostream links run on Windows Media Player (wmv files).


Initiatives include ways to improve clinical teaching, promoting better models of clinical communication among the members of the health care teams, and re-educating clinicians in the utilization of the skills of ancillary services.
