All should be encouraged to build up their individualleadership portfolios [3]. The graduate students in such a program can acquire knowledge andlearn and practice distinct and direct skills and values relevant to leadership. Included in these areethical decision making, communication, and networking [2–6]. Throughout its course, theprogram can continually improve in terms of both its curriculum and the leadership skills it confers[4], adapting to the current academic environment and reflecting the members’ evolving leadershipgoals. The following work outlines a pathway to address the need for leadership
