Leadership Project


All UW LEND Trainees are required to complete a leadership project under the guidance of their faculty mentor or other UW LEND faculty. Examples of leadership projects include:

  • Project that fulfills the trainee’s academic thesis or dissertation requirement
  • Pilot research study
  • Survey research for a needs study or to assess quality of service and/or client satisfaction
  • Product or resource for use in clinical service or training

UW LEND trainees present their leadership project at the Annual Presentation of Trainee Leadership Projects typically held in early June. Preparation of a manuscript for publication in a peer-reviewed journal is a final outcome for many leadership projects.
