The Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) initiated a Leadership Program in 2022. The POSNA Leadership Program (PLP) is designed to enhance emotional intelligence (social skills, empathy, communication, self-regulation, and self-awareness) and in-depth leadership skill development for selected participants in a year-long seminar. Disruptive behaviors detrimental to health care professionals, patients, and care delivery organizations can be identified and lessened through education. Most surgeons rightfully focus their learning intently on specific surgical knowledge and technical expertise, especially in the early and middle career stages. Despite this, surgical errors still occur secondary to limitations of nontechnical surgical skills: decision-making, communication, leadership, and teamwork. More senior surgeons are also prone to leadership and communication errors. By gaining education and expertise in nontechnical surgical skills, improved team building with more professional staff engagement, empowerment, and trust can result in lower risk.
北美小儿骨科学会（POSNA）于2022年启动了一项领导力计划。POSNA领导力计划（PLP）旨在通过为期一年的研讨会，增强选定参与者的情商（社交技能、同理心、沟通、自我调节和自我意识），并深入开展领导力技能培养。通过教育，可以识别并减少对医疗保健专业人员、患者和医疗服务组织有害的破坏性行为。大多数外科医生理所当然地将学习重点集中在特定的外科知识和技术专长上，尤其是在职业生涯的早期和中期阶段。尽管如此，由于非技术外科技能（决策、沟通、领导力和团队合作）的局限性，手术失误仍然会发生。资深外科医生也容易出现领导力和沟通失误。通过获得非技术外科技能方面的教育和专业知识，通过更专业的员工参与、赋权和信任来改善团队建设，可以降低风险。
