WHY DO IMPROVED PHYSICIAN LEADERSHIP SKILLS MATTER?

Perhaps more than ever, there is a critical need for a pipeline of new and better trained clinician leaders in medicine. Since physicians do not receive leadership training within the confines of their medical education, there is a gap that needs to be addressed. Often physicians who are clinically adept are placed into leadership roles where they may struggle if not offered development opportunities to advance their skills in the leadership competencies required. 


Leading healthcare organizations have found great value in assigning physicians to help lead on strategically important initiatives including: 

  • Improving quality of care 
  • Integrating medical specialties 
  • Improving the patient experience 
  • Managing the health of a defined population and related risk 
  • Standardizing care as appropriate
  • Physician recruiting and retention
  • Accurate and complete documentation and coding
  • Adapting to transformational change 


Success in these areas and others requires foundational personal leadership skills and expertise.
