This workshop will bring awareness to the role of informal leaders like medical students and junior doctors in the patient-centred medicine of the future. The main areas of healthcare management will be discussed as well as ways to self-manage your role in a complex environment where youth is not opposite to wisdom but rather triggers interest in change. Skills in Management and Leadership, like critical thinking, for example, can and will be developed. Take this opportunity to develop your capacities and become a 21st-century worker!
