“…More recently evidence is emerging to support the proposition that EI can be enhanced through psycho-educational training. EI and TA have often formed the theoretical basis for understanding inter-personal dynamics in communication (25,31,32) and leadership (6, 19,33,34) skills. Training based on both theoretical underpinnings have been reported to result in positive outcomes (12,23).…”

BackgroundWe evaluated the effect of psycho-educational training in emotional intelligence (EI) and transactional analysis (TA) (TEITA) on EI in health professions undergraduates, post-training and at 1-month follow-up. MethodsA total of 34 participants participated in the study where 17 participants were in TEITA group and another 17 were in control group. A quasi-experimental nonrandomised, controlled cohort was conducted, in which participants in TEITA group were introduced to EI and TA concepts on a weekly basis for four weeks, at 90 minutes each time, and provided with opportunities for experiential sharing of emotions and coping mechanisms experienced in the previous week. Both TEITA and control groups received weekly EI and TA reading materials. All completed the 16-item Wong and Law EI Scale at baseline and post-training. Training group also completed the questionnaire at 1-month follow-up. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks and Mann Whitney tests were used to analyse within group and between group changes in EI scores. ResultsBaseline EI scores in TEITA group were lower than control group. On completion of TEITA, EI scores in TEITA group increased, and differences were not detected between groups. Within TEITA group, paired increases in all domains were statistically significant, whereas in the control group, paired increase was only detected in the domain addressing regulations of emotion (ROE). Pre to post-training increases in EI scores were statically significantly greater in TEITA compared to control groups. At the 1-month follow-up, EI were sustained. ConclusionThe psycho-educational training based on EI and TA is effective in enhancing EI in health professions students. Future research should investigate the effect of such training on observable inter-personal and socio-economic behaviours.

“…Effective leadership skills have been associated with improved patient outcomes, better financial outcomes, improvements in quality and patient safety, and an improvement in the well-being of trainees. [10][11][12] As trainees are expected to accept significant leadership responsibilities over the course of residencies or fellowships, the provision of leadership training makes sense. Furthermore, several authors have demonstrated that leadership training within residency programs positively influences the training experience.…”

They introduced a fourweek curriculum that was delivered as didactic sessions on leadership, emotional intelligence and conflict resolution as well as team building exercises to help trainees understand the importance of teamwork and how to assign roles within a team.…”

Though they become responsible for leading teams and supervising more junior learners early in their career, physicians receive little formal leadership training. The "see one, do one, teach one" approach to behavioral modeling and mentorship does not serve the modern young physician well. The complex nature of modern healthcare demands that physicians learn to work within the teams they will often come to lead. Within these teams, members often look to physicians to fill leadership roles. This review will examine effective leadership as defined by the business community, review attempts to incorporate leadership training into graduate medical education programs and discuss the benefits of leadership training in medical residency programs.

“…Additionally, it is well known that military officers receive enhanced training in leadership tactics, techniques, and procedures. 5 , 6 This leadership training is further enriched via the military system in both GME and initial postgraduate assignments, where residents and young attending physicians are placed in leadership roles well in advance of timelines typically seen in the civilian sector. This background in leadership and its practical application was an essential element in the successful conversion of an Air Force Role 1 MTF into the impromptu hub for COVID-19 operations for an entire region.…”
