Medical Leadership in postgraduate medical education
Invitational Symposium on Medical Leadership in postgraduate medical education
This invitational symposium focusses on the what, why and how of medical leadership in post-graduate medical education. Medical leadership is a trending topic. In 2015, the CanMEDS role ‘manager’ changed to ‘leader’. Also, many national initiatives are currently drawing attention to medical leadership in the Dutch healthcare system. While the urgency seems clear, many practical issues remain unsolved.
How can we embed this subject in medical education? Who should take charge? Could medical leadership training for physicians also have negative consequences? And finally, is medical leadership just another hype?
These types of issues will be discussed in detail through both plenary lectures by Margriet Schneider and Olle ten Cate and a pro-contra debate. Three invited speakers from Canada (Ming-Ka Chan, Deepak Dath and Anne Matlow) who have played a big part in the realization of the CanMEDS ‘leader’ role and the international movement on medical leadership, will share their experience throughout the afternoon.
During this afternoon we challenge you to take part in the discussion. First, Olle ten Cate will share his knowledge on Entrustable Professional Activities in the light of medical leadership. Then two teams consisting of residents and medical specialists (a.o. Fedde Scheele) will spark off a pro-contra debate after which the floor will be opened to the rest of the audience.
