Show Notes

Leaders Are Trained Not Born.

It is time to include leadership development as a core component of healthcare training. 

Our trainees may have innate leadership skills and qualities, but leadership can also be taught. And as we work to create institutions that reflect our communities, we must equip trainees from diverse backgrounds with the leadership skills our organizations need. 

Your trainees and up-and-coming leaders in your organization will benefit from learning to appreciate how their strengths and unique attributes help them to become leaders. And your trainees will learn the most in a warm environment where you and your team provide mentoring, encouragement, and supported experiences in learning to apply themselves in leadership roles. 

Listen to find out: 

  • Why modeling is so powerful as a leadership training tool
  • Why leadership is a value and not just a role
  • How to create developmental experiences for faculty and trainees
  • How you can equip future leaders to rise into formal and informal leadership positions

Dr. Nicole Torrence is a training director for a psychology pre-doctoral internship training program in a public sector healthcare system.
