Physician leadership undoubtedly improves health care, and supporting physicians in harnessing and leveraging it is what the American Association for Physician Leadership® does best.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of certifying physician leaders around the world. The Certified Physician Executive credential, or CPE, is the industry standard for physicians who have achieved superior levels of professional excellence and management education while also demonstrating effective health care industry knowledge and leadership skills. The association hosts a celebration at the 2018 Physician Leadership Summit on April 28, 2018, at the Boston Sheraton.
To support the continued education of aspiring and current physician leaders, the association will feature expert panels, presentations and executive and seasoned-leader sessions during the 2018 Physician Leadership Summit in Boston April 26-30. A portion of the Summit, called the Thought Leadership Symposium, will include discussions of:
- Physician wellness and burnout prevention
- Opioid epidemic solutions
- Population health
- Industry innovation and disruptions, including workforce disruptions, disaster preparedness, financial disruption (mergers and acquisitions) and IT disruptions
“Physicians are natural stewards of the clinical delivery enterprise — and the primary managers of health for populations, which makes them best-suited to lead adaptive initiatives, innovative strategies and novel campaigns designed to improve and manage the inevitable changes that await our health care systems,” said Peter Angood, MD, president and CEO of the American Association for Physician Leadership.
Highlights of the Summit:
- Beyond Burnout and Resilience - Discover the varied approaches to personal and professional transformation and how to cultivate a culture of wellness in your health system.
- Perspectives: Proven Solutions for the Opioid Epidemic - Discover results from a Colorado Hospital Association opioid test pilot and get perspectives from lead physicians, pharmacists, a health system CEO and a former substance abuse patient.
