The InterAcademy Partnership's Young Physician Leaders: A Leadership Training and Networking Programme

This paper reflects on the experience of the Young Physician Leaders (YPL) program launched by the InterAcademy Partnership for Health in recognition of the fact that research, clinical, public health, and health policy areas of the health sector all need effective leaders. The program provides a tailored workshop on leadership; the opportunity, via the World Health Summit, to engage with global leaders in the field of medicine and health; and a matchmaking mentorship scheme among others. The program has been well received as an approach to supporting the leadership development of a new generation of physicians.
