Young Physician Leaders

Executive education program in English

Effective healthcare institutions need effective leaders

Young Physician Leaders develops future leaders from an international group of young, promising healthcare and public health professionals. The program was launched in 2011 by the InterAcademy Partnership for Health (IAP, formerly the InterAcademy Medical Panel) and now brings together a network of more than 130 alumni.

During the program, participants explore themes concerning the sources of leadership, the different styles a leader needs in order to collaborate with superiors, peers, and followers, and the complex processes of decision making and organizational change. Participants will present a session on the concerns of young physicians at the World Health Summit 2022. Most importantly, participants of the program will network, learn from each other, and join the worldwide network of Young Physician Leaders alumni.

Since 2016, the program is being run as a collaboration between IAP for Health, ESMT Berlin and the World Health Summit.

Testimonial

I really enjoyed the peer mentoring and was pleased we were left to create our leadership session at the World Health Summit.

Testimonial

A wonderfully designed programme which speaks directly to the desperate need for leadership training among young leaders in medicine. The programme is highly personal, but still manages to capitalise on the opportunity for group-learning.

The leadership workshops were really terrific. The ESMT Berlin's facilitation was truly excellent and pushed my thinking to an advanced level, especially on creating and managing teams.
