The MedStudentLead Framework
An Australian Medical Student Leadership Framework.
About the Medical Student Leadership Framework
This document contains the competencies for the Australian medical student leadership (MedStudentLead) framework. The MedStudentLead framework has been informed by medical education providers, learners, and the medical profession. It has been developed as part of a mixed-methods multiphase study about medical leadership training and assessment in the Australasian medical education continuum. More detail on this process is in the MedStudentLead framework document.
Each section has an introduction statement, readings, example learning outcomes, and teaching and assessment recommendations.
The finalised MedStudentLead framework is available to download and use.
Key Components of the Framework
Developing Self as a Leader
Leadership for Healthcare Collaboration
Leadership for Innovative Healthcare
What Others Have to Say About the Framework
I want to emphasise my strong support for the framework – it is comprehensive and impressive, and I can see how it could have a positive impact upon the skills of our future doctors.
