Congratulations to the three Department of Surgery faculty members who were selected to participate in the 2024 LEADER program cohort!
The Leadership Development for Researchers (LEADER) Program is designed for junior faculty who are leading a research group and driving their own research agenda. The course provides insight into leadership and team building as well as direction on how to develop and manage a scientific laboratory or research program, how to improve productivity, and how to harness creativity and innovation. The program was developed to bridge the gap between the scientific expertise that led individuals to a career in academic medicine, and the management skills that will be required to succeed as the leaders of small business units.
The 2024 participants from the Department of Surgery are:
Cordelia Manickam, PhD, DVM
Assistant Professor in Surgery
Division of Surgical Sciences
Hadiza Kazaure, MD
Assistant Professor of Surgery
Division of Surgical Oncology
He Xu, MD
Associate Professor of Surgery
