Many medical schools have initiated Leader and Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) programs to develop physician leaders. Currently, there is no consensus whether teaching leadership is important, who to teach, what topics to teach, and where leadership fits into the curriculum during medical school. Approach: To address these issues, the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) LEAD team convened an inaugural Medical Student LEAD Summit and Working Group Meeting on April 4, 2017. Participants came from public and private U.S. medical schools engaged in LEAD programs, military service academies, the Veterans Administration, and the Association of American Medical Colleges. The purpose of this meeting was to share opinions, experiences, and current practices regarding medical student LEAD. Outcomes: Participants overwhelmingly agreed that: (1) providing LEAD is an essential component of undergraduate medical education; (2) there currently is no single best LEAD program for all medical schools; (3) a clear purpose, goal, philosophy, and conceptual framework consistent with the mission and vision of each institution is needed; (4) assessment of students, programs, faculty must be incorporated; and (5) research and scholarship are essential for LEAD programs. Next Steps: Based on the positive feedback and interest from participants, the USU LEAD team will host a second Summit in April 2018 to follow up with the inaugural participants and to include representatives from additional institutions who are currently conducting or interested in starting their own medical school LEAD programs.
