Overview:
In this episode, Tiffany and Miguel talk with a panel of newly
elected chiefs about their hopes, fears, and plans in their chief
year. They share when they knew they wanted to be chief and who
influenced that decision. The panel shares the legacies they hope
to leave and how they think the chief roll will influence their
careers after residency. The episode finishes with some tips for
future chiefs and a promise to join EMRACAST for a debrief when
this chief year culminates. If you think you might want to be
chief, start finding ways to be involved and lead early but be
honest with yourself and do it for the right reasons.
