51st Annual Chief Residents Leadership Conference
May 31 - June 2, 2024
The IBM Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. Center for Learning
Armonk, New York
General Information
For 50 years the annual Chief
Residents Leadership Conference (the “Tarrytown” meeting) has been the premier
leadership training experience for incoming chief residents. It provides an
immersion in experiential exercises designed so participants gain personal
awareness and develop strategies for resolving leadership dilemmas that they
will confront during the upcoming academic year and throughout their careers.
Here’s what previous Chief Residents had to say:
- "What an amazing concept! I’ve been to leadership conferences before, but I’ve always been a passive recipient of information. Here, we were receiving training without even realizing it – much more effective."
- "Unlike any other conference attended. Process feels incredible."
- "An unmatched experience. Very demanding but incredible, rewarding."
Who Should Attend
In-coming Chief Residents and Fellows with leadership responsibilities.
Objectives
Attendees will gain personal knowledge and understanding about:
- Leadership skills
- Conflict resolution skills
- Group dynamics
- Their roles as middle managers within a residency training program
- The subtleties of the influence of diversity (race, gender, sexual identity, culture, etc.) on organizational systems
Residents will have an opportunity to learn about other residency programs, exchange ideas with peers, and network with colleagues from across the US and Canada.
