Our Leadership Development Institute (LDI) is dedicated to cultivating a diverse cohort of aspiring physician leaders who are committed to serving the needs of their communities and improving our nation’s health one patient at a time. The institute offers a unique opportunity to gain individualized insight into the skills needed to foster their careers and the future of medicine.
One of the cornerstone activities for participants is a year-long formal mentorship program. Participants are paired with experienced and currently practicing physician leaders to serve as mentors throughout the year. Through monthly meetings and conversations, participants receive personal career consultation and guidance while expanding professional networks as they begin their residency.
