A Growing Mandate in American Medicine: Teaching Our Internal Medicine Residents About Healthcare Administration and Leadership.

Leadership training during residency is essential for the successful development of contemporary physicians. Creating a curriculum for healthcare leadership and administration for internal medicine residents is particularly challenging due to the heterogeneity of leadership curricula across programs, the emphasis on individual advancement rather than collective leadership, and the scarcity of published research on the topic. A healthcare administration and leadership rotation for medical residents is a valuable experience that emphasizes the importance of contextualizing education on leadership and building relationships to achieve organizational goals.
