Introduction to Leadership

The vision of the College of Medicine reads “We are leaders in improving the health and wellbeing of the peoples of Saskatchewan and the world.” We need leaders in our healthcare system and in medical education that are “emparted with the leadership ability to drive health system transformation.” (From the Strategic Quality Education and Scholarship priority of the CoM). Faculty Development aims to provide support for those faculty who are interested in taking on leadership roles.
