Emotional Intelligence Through Interprofessional Mentorship and Education: A Recipe for Leadership Success

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this article, we examined pre-post self-reported ratings of emotional and social competencies (ESC) among an interdisciplinary group of undergraduate pre-licensure students in the health professions and public health and their relevance to leadership development. This quantitative pre-post study evaluated the ESC of three cohorts of students enrolled in a leadership program embedded within an urban university in the northeastern United States. Each cohort completed the assessment when they started a nine-month leadership program and upon program completion. The changes from baseline to post-course were statistically significant and positive in 13 of 14 ESC measures. These findings further support the value of integrating direct ESC teaching objectives in undergraduate education to advance leadership skills in the health professions and public health.
