Course Overview

Traditional radiology education often overlooks training residents and fellows on important skills such as effective communication skills, work-life integration, and rookie leadership. These competencies are highly valued by future employers and are the foundations for future career success.

 

That’s where Leadership Essentials comes in. In only a few months, you can gain essential professional development and leadership skills to stand out as an effective resident or fellow and get ready to succeed in whichever radiology path you pursue.
