| Popis: | Background:. Leadership development remains an overlooked component in the plastic surgery residency curriculum. Through a mixed-methods assessment of physician perceptions, this study aims to establish the value and structure of a formal leadership course for trainees. Methods:. Qualitative interviews were conducted with plastic surgery residents to identify common themes concerning the current state of leadership training and goals for improvement. These themes then guided the design of a quantitative assessment, which surveyed faculty and residents regarding their perceived need for a curriculum, the domains that should be included, and the format of delivery. Results:. Six residents underwent interviews, which yielded the following themes: (1) surgical residents require a distinct set of leadership skills that warrants more intensive training and (2) leadership training should assume a more structured format. The survey achieved a 76% (29/38) response rate, with residents comprising 55% of respondents. Participants were neutral to slightly satisfied with current resident leadership and “learning on the job” (4.62 and 4.03 on a 7-point Likert scale, respectively). Respondents reported a moderate need for formal leadership training (2.97 on a 5-point scale). Availability was ranked as the greatest barrier to curriculum implementation. Topics considered most important included effective communication, self-awareness/emotional intelligence, and strategic thinking. Formats considered most effective included in-person lectures, small group exercises, and case studies. Conclusion:. This study presents a conceptual framework for the implementation of a leadership curriculum for plastic surgery residents that may empower the development of stronger physician leaders. |
