Abstract
Leadership is an essential competency for doctors, influencing clinical decision-making, teamwork, and patient outcomes. It also plays a role in facilitating medical staff’s ability to handle patient safety issues effectively. However, traditional medical education often focuses on academic and technical skills, with leadership development occurring informally through the "hidden curriculum."
Studies show that medical students recognise the importance of leadership and emotional intelligence (EI) in their professional growth, yet structured teaching in these areas remains limited. To address this gap, we have designed a two-session leadership teaching program embedded within the University of Dundee Healthcare Improvement curriculum.
