This novel program leverages its partnership with a large Northeast health system to longitudinally provide students with leadership fundamentals and mentored experiences.

The complex and rapidly changing healthcare systems landscape demands physicians who are equipped to lead. A high level of emotional intelligence, excellent communication skills, and the ability to command highly functioning teams are proficiencies physician leaders must develop [1]. Medical schools are responding to the need for physician leaders by establishing programs that incorporate leadership skills into undergraduate medical education (UME) curricula. The lack of time within already crowded UME curricula is a significant barrier, prompting schools to look towards more longitudinal programming outside of the curriculum to reinforce leadership skills at different stages of professional development. Beyond time limitations, these attempts are limited by the lack of a standard leadership curriculum in UME [2]. In 2016, the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell (ZSOM) received a financial gift from the Klar Organization to establish a program that * Judith M.

cultivates leadership skills among medical students, creating a physician leader pipeline. The Klar Leadership Development and Innovation Management (LDIM) program was established to build upon the ZSOM educational program and engage leadership at Northwell Health. The Klar LDIM Steering Committee includes administrative physician leaders from ZSOM and Northwell who have guided the program mission, goals, objectives, and student activities, and helped create a robust programmatic partnership with Northwell Health. While the program did not initially consider the Medical Leadership Competency Framework (MLCF, [3]), it currently strives to ensure the Klar LDIM program addresses all competencies within the framework, inclusive of (1
