Abstract
Introduction: Medical schools are increasingly attempting to prepare future physicians for diverse new leadership roles in the health care system. Many schools have implemented didactic leadership curricula, with varying levels of structure and success. Project-based learning via completion of real-world projects using a team-based approach remains an underutilized approach to developing student leadership skills.Entities:

bN/A responses for skill development were counted as no change.
Figure 2.Team member relative improvement versus effort for leadership and business skills. Analysis of the amount of effort put into a specific skill on the project and relative improvement of that skill during the project shows a strong positive correlation between the two variables. Therefore, the Medical Educational Consulting Group's consulting projects provided the most value to students when they were consistently working on a specific skill during the course of that project.
