Leadership Development Program
The Leadership Development Program (LDP) is a year-long interactive learning experience for U.S./Canadian vascular surgeons who are five-10 years out of training. A series of webinars, mentoring and a 1.5-day in-person workshop will serve as the curriculum to guide participants as they identify and tackle real-life challenges faced by leaders in vascular surgery.
The aim is for the participants to reach their full potential as leaders and make a positive impact in the specialty, in their workplace and community, and in other areas of importance in their life.
Program content is drawn from the highest quality research on leadership with an intense focus on applying this knowledge to the real-life challenges.
