The Chief Resident Leadership Workshop is a skills-based event for family medicine residents transitioning into their new roles as clinical leaders. Sessions are designed to be interactive and offer incoming chiefs a learning environment for increasing confidence as leaders/managers, developing interpersonal communication, improving group dynamics, and advancing the educational mission of their programs. Faculty will challenge participants to think and act strategically, and adopt innovative approaches for handling complex managerial situations.
The workshop is divided into two-parts:
Topics include:
Developing Family Physicians Leaders in California
As healthcare continues to change, the need for developing effective family physician leaders with strong managerial skills continues to be pivotal. CAFP Foundation President, Dr. Labuguen, will share lessons that he's learned throughout his career - from his own chief resident experience to being a leader in UCSF's Department of Family & Community Medicine.
Leadership Toolkit: Transitioning into Your New Role as Chief Resident: The Annual Cycle
Transitioning to chiefdom can be daunting due to the number of new responsibilities, the pressure of representing peer interest, the difficulty of navigating conflicts, and the increased clinical workload as a senior resident. This session will introduce and provide tips for skillfully managing the many hats worn by chief residents throughout their position.
Learning Objectives:
Leadership Toolkit - Managing Up and Across, What Every Chief Resident Should Know
As a chief resident, you are stepping into a leadership position - in this role, you will need to manage up and across. This starts with understanding who those key people are, anticipating when and what conflicts might arise, and offering solutions to the people you lead with. We will review a handful of real cases to practice in your leadership roles.
Learning Objectives:
Leadership Toolkit- Navigating Tough Team Dynamics
Learn the Simpli5, a powerful tool that helps leaders navigate complex team dynamics, improve communication, and achieve mutual goals. Understand your own professional behavioral tendencies and practice applying the model to understand the preferred working style of your teammates and audience within your sphere of influence.
Learning Objectives:
Sharing Our Experiences: A Panel Discussion with Current Chiefs
This interactive panel discussion will promote the sharing of experiences, ideas and recommendations from current chief residents - specifically around navigating conflict, prioritizing workload, and reflecting on resident burnout. The panelists will address questions raised from the audience throughout the workshop - so questions are welcome!
Inspiring a Shared Vision and the Why of Leadership, Advocacy and Community Service
Become the physician you wrote about in your personal statement. How do you go from self-interest to shared interests to enlightened interests in order to build an inspired vision? Family medicine is a movement. Learn how to move towards a shared vision to make health primary.
Learning Objectives:
Leadership Toolkit: Giving Effective Feedback
Chief residents are frequently tasked with collecting and distributing feedback among our peers and faculty. This session provides tools to navigate and practice the daunting task of giving feedback effectively and constructively, even up the hierarchy.
Learning Objectives:
Reflecting and Forging Connections
Reflect on the workshop sessions, provide feedback, and forge connections with fellow chief residents. Create deeper connections through shared goals, challenges, and experiences.
