摘要：Background: Undergraduate medical training in medical leadership is limited, and there is a general negative perception among medical professionals towards leadership and management.Aims: To improve perceptions of leadership training and encourage leadership activity amongst medical students.Method: A leadership student-selected component (SSC) was designed offering formal leadership education and engagement of students onto leadership and quality improvement projects. The initial cohort consisted of 8 third year medical students. Students were given questionnaires exploring their attitudes and perceptions towards leadership before and after the SSC.Results: The students had no previous formal undergraduate education in leadership. Engagement in the SSC considerably enhanced the perception of leadership and management among students. The students also reported having more confidence in engaging with leadership projects and reported feeling more likely to be involved with leadership projects in future.Conclusions: A formal leadership educational programme which engages students in real leadership and quality improvement work enhances the perception of leadership and inspires students to undertake leadership roles in future.
