Leading the Rounds
Leadership development is overlooked in contemporary medical education, yet medical students and physicians find themselves in leadership roles from the beginning of their training. Medical leadership is complex and we hope to provide a resource and space for medical trainees- ourselves included- to grow and learn how to be better leaders. We hope to educate and motivate others to further develop themselves as leaders in healthcare.

The United States Ranks #1 in Healthcare spending, reaching nearly 18% of our GDP or $3.8 trillion.

It is estimated that 25% of healthcare spending can be attributed to one form of waste or another. Today we talk about what medical waste looks like, what others have suggested as solutions, and why it's important- as medical trainees- to be on the lookout for areas of waste or inefficiency.
