Chief residents (CRs) are selected based on interpersonal skills, medical knowledge, and clinical performance; however, they must adapt to their leadership role by taking on administrative tasks, resolving conflicts, and assisting underperforming residents. The Northwestern University McGaw Medical Center identified training area deficiencies and created a one-day curriculum that addressed the role of the CR, conflict resolution and negotiation, managing trainees with clinical/professional deficiencies, supporting trainees in distress, improving program morale, and navigating the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requirements.
