Abstract
Despite the demonstrated value of leadership in medicine, there is limited research on how physicians develop leadership skills. We administered a national survey (225 respondents) and conducted eight interviews of residents, fellows, and staff physicians in obstetrics and gynaecology to explore leadership skill development. Most (87%) positively rated the effectiveness of their leadership skills; however, the majority (98%) stated they would benefit from further training. Interview themes indicated that leadership skills can be taught, leadership training and roles should be intentional, training should be longitudinal, and barriers to training can be overcome with changes to the current model.
