The Educational Leadership in Academic Medicine ("Leadership Elective") at Stritch School of Medicine is designed to provide students with a personalized experience to develop leadership skills through education, reflection, and exposure to leadership in medicine. Through this course, students will have the opportunity to reflect on their own leadership journey, develop interpersonal and communication skills, and collaborate with peers, while participating in guided activities to build their leadership story and prepare for real world experiences as a leader in medicine.

The goal of this MDED-350.TA elective is to provide students an opportunity to serve as Teaching Assistants for sub-cohorts of students in MDED-350 by actively facilitating, supporting, and providing feedback to their sub-cohort of students as they complete the six sessions in MDED-350 and ancillary assignments. It is our hope that these Teaching Assistants will also become mentors for their assigned students and will themselves demonstrate a progressive acquisition of leadership skills, while engaging in both their own personal and professional development.

The course will be graded pass/fail only, and the course director will determine the final grade.
