Dr. Rachel D. Appelbaum
Recipient of the EAST Leadership Development Workshop Scholarship
Testimonial
As an EAST Leadership Development Workshop Scholarship Recipient, I was able to attend the 2024 workshop and learn from a powerhouse line-up of distinguished trauma and acute care surgery leaders. I took away incredible lessons on approaches to leadership, developing my own style, influencing the culture of my team, and responding in times of crisis. As a junior faculty member, I was able to put the lectures on self-reflection to immediate use: determining my “why” and focusing my energy have been key to creating a vision on how I can lead my team to success.
I have no doubt this workshop will take my leadership skills to the next level as I further develop my “why” in the area of quality improvement and explore initiatives to improve the trauma stakeholder experience. I look forward to using my learned skills to contribute to EAST and our field for years to come.
Thank you, EAST Development Fund, for your support!
