Developing leadership competencies has been identified as an essential part of graduate medical education 1 Turner S Seel M Trotter T et al.

A few ad hoc programs have been created at individual residency programs, 2 Song EY Chuang J Frakes JM et al. Developing a Dedicated Leadership Curriculum for Radiation Oncology Residents.
