Abstrakt: The complex medical environment of today calls for physicians to have an array of leadership skills in addition to a thorough knowledge of their specific practice areas. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists ( ACOG) Robert C. Cefalo National Leadership Institute is a 3.5-day intensive leadership development course targeted to physician leaders. A group of 37 physicians completed the ACOG National Leadership Institute in spring of 2013. At course completion and 6-month postcourse, participants were asked to complete a retrospective pre- and posttest of perceived skill levels in 10 targeted competency areas. Course completion and 6-month postcourse scores indicated statistically significant improvements in scores on all 10 competency areas, which was supported by a Wilcoxon signed-rank test of median score difference. Qualitative data gathered at the 6-month postcourse survey provide examples of how participants had applied their skills. The data presented in the current study suggested that intensive, 'short-burst,' experiential leadership training is an effective approach for leadership skills development in physicians.
