Abstract

This commentary examines the curriculum chair’s responsibilities and discusses considerations when assuming this role, using a “captain of the ship” metaphor. From knowing the crew to managing a diverse set of responsibilities, the path to becoming an effective chair is challenging and each captain’s stripe must be earned. Advice is provided to assist with understanding the curriculum and governance processes, as well as the chair’s various roles and professional development. The need for leadership and management is also emphasized.
