Leadership in Medicine is a 4-year program, created and led by medical students, that aims to advance the culture of leadership at FSU College of Medicine. The program provides students with leadership competencies that help improve their leadership skills as well as mentorship in one of four areas: Executive Medicine, Community Medicine, Academic Medicine, and Health Policy. Students also complete a Leadership Development Project that addresses a community issue observed or experienced during their time in medical school. 

Leadership in Medicine is important to us because it provides an opportunity for unique interactions between specialized mentors and mentees which fosters knowledge about pertinent health-related issues, increases personal growth, expands the student’s view of health-related fields, and ideally cultivates new ideas targeting improving communities and/or patient populations. Helping future physicians grow into their roles as leaders is more important now than ever before given the challenges faced by our society in recent years, especially as we continue to tackle the COVID19 pandemic.

With your support, we will be able to recruit future participants, continue to make an impact in the community, and ensure the program’s future at FSU. Thank you for your time and we hope you will consider contributing toward our efforts in cultivating great future physician leaders!
