摘要

The evolving role of modern physicians requires leadership skills beyond clinical expertise. Despite the growing need, leadership training in undergraduate medical education (UME) in the United States remains inconsistent and lacks standardization. This commentary reviews current leadership programs, highlights disparities in curriculum structure, and evaluates two proposed models – the Medical Leadership Competency Framework (MLCF) and emotional intelligence (EI)- as potential national frameworks. It also discusses barriers to curriculum implementation, such as, delivery format and student accessibility. To prepare future physicians to successfully lead in their roles, a standardized leadership competency must be developed and integrated into UME.
