The Royal Irish Academy congratulates Dr Sadhbh Lee on being identified as an Outstanding Young Physician Leader (YPL) by the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP)

This year’s programme is articulated in three parts:

• A specific leadership development programme with a focus on analysing models of leadership with the aim of developing an individual action plan for personal leadership growth.
• A visit sponsored by the Bayer Science and Education Foundation to research laboratories in the Berlin area.
• Participation by the awardees in the events of the World Health Summit, a forum within which the YPL will be exposed to an outstanding scientific and policy programme attended by a global group of medical and policy professionals.

As a member of the IAP, the Royal Irish Academy was delighted to support Dr Lee’s nomination and fully endorses her attendance at and participation in the programme.
