Medical knowledge alone is insufficient to provide excellent medical care. Modern healthcare challenges require that all physicians have leadership skills in order to better cooperate and collaborate with other healthcare professionals and effectively lead their teams to provide the best possible care to their patients. The objective of this study was to describe medical students' prior knowledge of leadership concepts, to assess their common practice of its main skills and to explore their general perception of its application by their seniors.
Non-graduated medical students enrolled in the 5th year of medicine or above were invited to fill-in an anonymous online questionnaire. 267 students (66% women) from different medical faculties took part in the study.
44% of the participants had a vague idea about leadership and 29% were completely ignorant of the concept. 52% of them thought that leadership was not to be expected from medical students, and 65% did not know that leadership in healthcare would benefit the patient. In their responses to simulated situations, the participants presented optimal attitudes embracing leadership attributes regarding self-awareness, receiving feedback, teamwork, stress and conflict management, however they present more contrasting attitudes when it came to time management and questioning oneself. Seniors with good leadership skills were perceived as few by half the participants.
This survey highlighted the need of introducing specific leadership training programs within the curriculum of medical studies in Morocco.
仅有医学知识不足以提供卓越的医疗服务。现代医疗保健面临的挑战要求所有医生都具备领导能力，以便与其他医疗保健专业人员更好地合作和协作，并有效地领导他们的团队为患者提供最佳护理。本研究的目的是描述医学生对领导概念的先备知识，评估他们对领导主要技能的常见实践，并探讨他们对上级领导应用的普遍看法。
邀请 5 年级及以上的非毕业医学生填写匿名在线问卷。来自不同医学院的 267 名学生（66%为女性）参与了这项研究。
44%的参与者对领导概念只有模糊的认识，29%的人完全不了解这个概念。52%的人认为领导能力不是医学生所期望的，65%的人不知道医疗保健中的领导能力会使患者受益。在对模拟情况的回应中，参与者表现出了最佳的领导属性态度，包括自我意识、接受反馈、团队合作、压力和冲突管理，但在时间管理和自我质疑方面，他们的态度则更为矛盾。一半的参与者认为具有良好领导能力的上级很少。
这项调查强调了在摩洛哥医学研究课程中引入特定领导能力培训计划的必要性。
