The position of chief resident involves increased leadership, mentorship, and management responsibilities. There is no standardized procedure in which dermatology chief residents are trained and prepared for their final year of residency. In 2008, an annual Dermatology Chief Academy conference was initiated in which incoming chief residents were given formal leadership training for their new role. At the 2020 conference, residents completed a survey regarding their expectations and experience of this conference. After the conference, residents felt significantly better prepared for their new role as chief residents, handling conflicts, and effective leadership. A formal leadership conference for incoming chief residents is vital for improving the success of a residency program.
