To describe the experience of the first OMERACT Emerging Leaders Program (ELP). Methods. A Delphi process identified positive aspects, areas for improvement, and future directions. Core items were defined as essential if they received ≥ 70\% ratings. Results. Participants valued relatable/accessible mentors (100\%), including an OMERACT Executive mentor (100\%), and a support network of peers (90\%). Key items for future development were funding support (100\%) and developing knowledge about OMERACT processes (90\%) and politics (80\%). Conclusion. The ELP has the potential to provide targeted training for early career researchers to develop relevant skills for future leadership roles within OMERACT.}, doi = {10.3899/jrheum.181126}, eissn = {1499-2752}, issn = {0315-162X}, issue = {8}, journal = {Journal of Rheumatology}, pages = {1047-1052}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Journal of Rheumatology}, url = {https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/851103}, volume = {46}, keyword = {Centre for Public Health and Wellbeing, Formerly Health & Social Sciences, OMERACT, education, outcomes, fellows, emerging leaders, career development, early career researchers}, year = {2019}, author = {Flurey, Caroline A. and Tugwell, Peter S. and Black, Rachel J. and Halls, Serena and Page, Matthew J. and Robson, Joanna C. and Sahbudin, Ilfita and Siddle, Heidi J. and Sinnathurai, Premarani and Stok, Kathryn S. and Richards, Bethan} }
