Leadership in Medicine 

Leadership in Medicine is a 4-year para curricular program, created and led by medical students, that aims to advance the culture of leadership at the 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. As part of the program, students complete a Leadership Development Project that addresses a community issue observed or experienced during their time in medical school. Some examples can be seen below.

Leadership in Medicine provides the opportunity for unique interaction between established professionals in the community and medical students which fosters knowledge about pertinent health related issues, increases personal growth, expands the student’s view of health-related fields, and cultivates new ideas about improving communities and or patient populations. With your support we will be able to recruit future participants, continue to positively impact the community, and ensure the program’s future.

Example Leadership Development Projects: 

• Fighting the Battle of Opioid Overdoses: Expanding the Distribution of Take-Home Naloxone Kits 
• Addressing Period Poverty 
• Medical Student Refugee Assistance Program 
• School Bullying and Health Risk Behavior Outcomes among Adolescents in Florida 
• Evaluating the Prevalence of High Infant Mortality Given Maternal Health Indicators in Florida 
• Community Cooking Class at FSU Primary Health 
• Expanding Bethel’s Mobile Medical Unit with Big Bend Hospice 
• Big Bend Buddies: Athletic and Nutrition Extracurriculars for Children Experiencing Homelessness
