title: Leadership and management in medicine in the 1980s.
abstract: The increasing importance of effective leadership and management in medicine in the United States has been discussed. Examples of continuing-education courses for physicians and scientists have been cited as an indication of enhanced awareness of this importance. Development of a minimal academic foundation in this area has been suggested as a desirable addition to our current postgraduate educational programs, and an example of a formal graduate course designed to address this need has been presented.
