Purpose: Leadership development has become increasingly important in medical education, including postgraduate training in the specialty of radiology. Since leadership skills may be acquired, there is a need to establish leadership education in radiology residency training. However, there is a paucity of literature examining the design, delivery, and evaluation of such programs. The purpose of this study is to collate and characterize leadership training programs across postgraduate radiology residencies found in the literature. Methods: A scoping review was conducted. Relevant articles were identified through a search of Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, Cochrane, PubMed, Scopus, and ERIC databases from inception until June 22, 2020. English-language studies characterizing leadership training programs offered during postgraduate radiology residency were included. A search of the grey literature was completed via a web-based search for target programs within North America. Results: The literature search yielded 1168 citations, with 6 studies meeting inclusion criteria. Four studies were prospective case series and two were retrospective. There was heterogeneity regarding program structure, content, teaching methodology, and evaluation design. All programs were located in the United States. Outcome metrics and success of the programs was variably reported, with a mix of online and in person feedback used. The grey literature search revealed 3 American-based programs specifically catered to radiology residents, and none within Canada. Conclusion: The review highlighted a paucity of published literature describing leadership development efforts within radiology residency programs. The heterogeneity of programs highlighted the need for guidance from regulatory bodies regarding delivery of leadership curricula.

Abstract Background : With the increasing recognition that leadership skills can be acquired, there is a heightened focus on incorporating leadership training as a part of graduate medical education. However, there is considerable lack of agreement regarding how to facilitate acquisition of these skills to resident, chief resident, and fellow physicians. Methods : Articles were identified through a search of Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, ERIC, PsycNet, Cochrane Systemic Reviews, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from 1948 to 2019. Additional sources were identified through contacting authors and scanning references. We included articles that described and evaluated leadership training programs in the United States and Canada. Methodological quality was assessed via the MERSQI (Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument). Results : 15 studies, which collectively included 639 residents, chief residents, and fellows, met the eligibility criteria. The format, content, and duration of these programs varied considerably. The majority focused on conflict management, interpersonal skills, and stress management. Twelve were prospective case series and three were retrospective. Seven used pre- and post-test surveys, while seven used course evaluations. Only three had follow-up evaluations after six months to one year. MERSQI scores ranged from 6 to 9. Conclusions : Despite interest in incorporating structured leadership training into graduate medical education curricula, there is a lack of evidence evaluating its effectiveness. High-quality well-designed studies are required in order to determine if these programs have a lasting effect on the acquisition of leadership skills.

Conclusions: Despite interest in incorporating structured leadership training into graduate medical education curricula, there is a lack of methodologically rigorous studies evaluating its effectiveness. High-quality well-designed studies, focusing particularly on the validity of content, internal structure, and relationship to other variables, are required in order to determine if these programs have a lasting effect on the acquisition of leadership skills.

Due to a growing body of empirical research on the influence of quality leadership in schools, the role of school leaders continues to come under the policy spotlight as an important catalyst for school improvement and reform. While classroom teachers have the most direct impact on student learning, educational leaders are able to support and optimize learning through their indirect effect on school and classroom conditions. Critical theorists would challenge these instrumental functions of school administrators and posit a more humane, moral, and democratic view of leadership, which in turn would suggest different forms of training and program evaluation. Despite wide-ranging definitions of leadership, there is a growing awareness and appreciation of leadership effects, and a resulting surge in the scholarship and research focused on leadership training. For the purposes of this article, leadership training has been interpreted to mean the learning process by which individuals are prepared to demonstrate leadership skills and develop those skills over the course of their professional careers. Preparation refers to learning that takes place prior to selection for a formal leadership position, and development refers to learning that takes place while an individual is in a formal leadership position. Both preservice and in-service aspects of training are addressed in the references; however, most of the research addresses aspects of leadership preparation versus leadership development. The body of research on leadership training has been growing substantially since the early 1990s, but it was quite limited prior to this time period. When available, empirically based research studies were selected for inclusion in this article. An effort also was made to include international perspectives on leadership preparation, but the majority of the available literature comes from the United States. Qian, et al. 2017 (cited under General Overviews) notes this dearth of international research in the authors’ overview of the non-US leadership preparation field. As a result of the heavy emphasis on research from the United States, there is a disproportionate sampling of publications focused on university-based training, where most of the administrative preparation takes place due to licensing regulations. Although leadership training is taking place in a variety of venues outside of universities, there is little systematic assessment of its impact on the practices or beliefs of participants.

AbstractProblemThere is a lack of leadership training in health care despite it being an essential competency for providers to deliver accessible, high quality healthcare and navigate a continually changing system. The barriers to adding leadership development to the various stages of medical training are numerous. A specific barrier is the lack of access to resources for this training. This group aimed to tackle this barrier within post-graduate medical education and training through their e- Leadership Academy.ApproachThe e-Leadership Academy was developed as a partnership between the Harvard Medical School Center for Primary Care and Clinical Directors Network, Inc. (CDN). The result of the collaboration was a virtual leadership academy, offered over a 10-month period that covered the fundamental concepts and skills for leading within a clinical practice. The audience for this program were clinicians and staff of community health centers and health departments in the United States.OutcomesFor the results of this article, primary outcome analysis was of participant responses to both formative and summative evaluations that took place throughout and at the end of the course. Results were used to assess course quality, participant satisfaction, participant engagement, and provide data about future offerings that would be useful to the target audience.Next StepsThe group proposes future training programs could measure the changes in the behavior of teams and clinical outcomes utilizing expanded evaluations. Proposed plans for expansion of the e- Leadership Academy include developing additional modules and the potential integration of an in- person component.

This study examines leadership training in advertising. Interviews with U.S.-based agency professionals revealed the lack of a systematic approach to leadership development. There was a consensus among professionals that training (whether formal or informal) is needed. Despite need and benefits of establishing leadership training programs in agencies, participants acknowledged barriers to doing so. The study also finds a role for advertising education to train the next generation of advertising leaders.

Abstract Objectives To conduct an evidence scoping review to determine the need and scope for a systematic review (SR) and evidence-based practice guideline (EBPG). The main objectives were to identify and characterize studies examining weight management interventions provided by a registered dietitian nutritionist or international equivalent (RDN) among adults with overweight or obesity. Methods An electronic literature search of six databases – MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), PyscINFO (Ovid), Cochrane CENTRAL (Ovid), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (Ovid), and CINAHL (Ebsco) – was conducted. All types of peer-reviewed articles, except for narrative review, grey literature, and case study/report, published between January 2008 and April 26, 2019 were eligible. Two content advisors guided the process and reviewed the search plan and findings. Results The literature search resulted in 30,551 records: 29,756 were excluded during the first round of screening due to duplication or irrelevancy. Of the 811 full-text articles (including 16 articles identified through other sources) that were assessed, 139 met the criteria and were included. Studies were primarily based in the United States or Canada (43%) and 51% of them were conducted in the community setting. About 90% of the studies were clinical trials with varying intervention delivery modes, from face to face in an individual (42%) or group (37%) settings to telemedicine (21%). RDN(s) delivered the weight management intervention (especially the nutrition component) in all studies but some (61%) also involved an interdisciplinary team to deliver other components of the intervention. The average length of the intervention was about 9 months with a follow up that ranged from 0 to 9 years. The commonly reported outcomes were anthropometrics, endocrine and heart-related measures, nutrition intake, and physical activity. Conclusions Based on the scoping review, there were SRs and EBPGs on weight management interventions but none of them met our inclusion or exclusion criteria. Thus, it would be beneficial to conduct a SR/EBPG on adult weight management interventions provided by an RDN to guide practitioners and to evaluate their effects on nutrition-related outcomes.
