In response, we must stress the importance of taking into account the intended learner of our study program. The track we described in our manuscript introduces 12 core topic areas of HDSE and allocates time for the practiced application of these concepts. We acknowledge that this track on its own may be insufficient for physician administrators, who likely need a mastery level of knowledge for their scope of practice. However, we feel that this fundamental training provides an indispensable and beneficial opportunity for established physicians with limited prior didactic HDSE experiences to realize concepts and identify areas to pursue greater depth of knowledge.
