2022 / 2023 ACG Early Career Leadership Program Participants

Elevating Great Doctors into Great Leaders

The Early Career Leadership Program (formerly the Young Physician Leadership Scholars Program) develops future leaders in clinical gastroenterology by providing leadership and policy training to early-career physicians. These physicians have completed one full year of practice after their terminal GI or hepatology fellowship and are in their first five years of clinical practice.

Participants are immersed in coursework covering effective leadership, impactful networking, emotional intelligence, group dynamics, and team building. The ACG Institute is excited to welcome the sixth cohort of Early Career Leadership Scholars in 2023.
