Dean Augustine M.K. Choi announces the eleventh year of the Healthcare Leadership Fellows Program aimed at identifying Weill Cornell’s “leaders of tomorrow”. Physician leadership is a scarce resource; the development of new leaders is becoming even more important, as health care reform attempts to drive value-based care and population health that has led to major changes in the ways that health care is paid for, organized, and delivered.
Sixty-eight Weill Cornell faculty members have been selected as Fellows during the first ten years of the program; many have assumed leadership roles within departments and on committees of Weill Cornell and NYP. The program provides funds to support leadership training/educational opportunities for Fellows. It also provides mentoring from the Fellowship Committee and others, small group meetings with nationally known leaders, and opportunities for discussion with current and past Fellows. Department chairs must promise 10% protected time for Fellows to spend on their Fellowship.
Please direct questions to Lawrence Peter Casalino (lac2021@med.cornell.edu) or Paul Casale (pnc9003@med.cornell.edu).
The Healthcare Leadership Fellows Program is generously supported by Michael J. Wolk, M.D. and the Michael Wolk Heart Foundation.
The Medical College and the Physician Organization invite faculty members to apply for the program by February 29, 2024 by submitting applications to Reekarl Pierre (rep4007@med.cornell.edu).
The Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital (NYP) was launched in July 2017, in partnership with Columbia's Business School and the Department of Health Policy & Management (HPM). LEAD delivers strategic management and health policy training to rising-star physicians in the NYP health system.
The LEAD program provides a tailored, applied education for future physician leaders to gain competencies and capabilities valued by NYP and our medical partners, including respect-based leadership, management skills, team-building, healthcare policy, and applied business skills. In addition to coursework, participants complete a capstone project preparing them to effectively work and collaborate in our institutions, with a focus on addressing structural inequities in healthcare.
For information, please contact LEAD@nyp.org.

The Mentored Clinical Research Training Program (MCRTP) offers junior physicians at Weill Cornell and Houston Methodist a fast-track program to acquire the skillset to develop a clinical research project proposal and embark on a clinical research career pathway.
The MCRTP begins with an intensive, four-day workshop, held during July in NYC. Drawing on courses adapted from the Weill Cornell CTSC, the workshop provides an introduction to the foundations of clinical research, including research design and methodologies, data management and analysis, and the regulatory process. Following the workshop, trainees will develop their own clinical research projects with guidance from experienced clinical researchers at Weill Cornell and/or Houston Methodist.

In 2016, Quality University-Weill Department of Medicine (QUDoM) was the first program established at NYP/WCM to provide a pathway for junior faculty who are not traditional researchers to obtain mentorship and achieve academic scholarship while improving the quality and safety of hospital and ambulatory patient care. As of fall 2019, 14 WDOM physician and 4 nurses have graduated from the program. Fifteen projects have been completed across WCM uptown and Lower Manhattan campuses; 93% were integrated into standard practice with an additional two projects ongoing. Due to interest from other departments as well as NYP Nursing, we have expanded to include physician and nurse participants from the Departments of Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesiology, and Surgery starting with the Class of 2019.
Since the start of the program, faculty mentorship of residents in QI has increased by fivefold in the Weill Department of Medicine. In addition, more than a third of the sponsored projects have included a total of 24 residents and fellows which help our department meet the CLER program core competency for direct faculty and resident project participation in quality improvement.
As of 2019, QUDoM has expanded across Weill Cornell Medicine as part of the College’s larger faculty development and mentorship efforts. It has been rebranded as Quality Improvement Academy-Weill Cornell Medicine (QIA-WCM) to reflect involvement of all departments. QIA-WCM will continue to prioritize the quality and safety goals of WCM and NYP while increasing the productivity and visibility of the institution’s commitment to high value, high quality care as a high reliability organization.
