Barbara Ross-Lee, DO Humanity in Leadership Award

The ACGME’s Barbara Ross-Lee, DO Humanity in Leadership Award recognizes projects that exemplify innovative and creative strategies for cultivating leadership grounded in humanistic values in graduate medical education (GME). Emphasizing approaches that foster empathy and integrity, the award honors projects that advance the development of compassionate leaders and provide replicable models. To be considered, projects must demonstrate measurable outcomes or significant progress in promoting leadership and humanity in GME, and their impact should align with priority areas such as increasing opportunities for leadership development and retention at every stage of the physician pathway, from the pre-medical phase through faculty appointment.
