Leadership Development

Duke Pediatrics Leadership Development Initiative

With departmental support from Ann M. Reed, MD, chair of  the Department of Pediatrics, the Duke Pediatrics Leadership Development Initiative (DPLDI) is a pilot program geared to offer professional development opportunities and networking to the division chiefs and other department leaders. The goal is develop leaders who are equipped to navigate the challenges in academic medicine, ensuring that current and future generations of physicians are able to adapt to multiple challenges, including lack of funding, a workforce at a high risk of burnout, and an ever-changing reimbursement landscape. Our ultimate goal must be a productive, creative, and fulfilled workforce that advances the field and improves the health and wellbeing of the patients and families we serve.

It will provide insight into leadership and team building as well as direction on how to develop and manage a scientific laboratory or research program, how to improve productivity, and how to harness creativity and innovation. It will provide tools to use in navigating conflict with confidence. This course provides a unique opportunity to work with a diverse and multidisciplinary group of faculty and to network with other researchers from across the university.

Making the Case

Making the Case is a hands-on, interactive program to learn skills needed to transform an idea into a proposal. Over the course of three sessions you will develop or refine a business plan for your own idea, get feedback on stakeholders to engage and questions to ask, and practice pitching your proposal to a panel of mock judges. Past project examples include starting a new program, implementing a clinical redesign effort, launching a new division or center, or proposing a new system-wide workflow redesign. Sessions will include guidance on how to use and manipulate data using excel.
