Skills for Effective Medical Staff Leadership
Course Description
As a leader on your hospital's medical staff, you likely carry out peer review, make complex credentialing and privileging decisions, and fulfill other critical responsibilities that directly affect patient care.
These decisions are critical for hospital success, and even your own and your colleagues' livelihoods. Moving into an important medical staff leadership position without any training just sets you up to fail.
You may not be able to commit the time and resources to leadership and management training appropriate for a career physician executive — that doesn't mean you have to face these new and often difficult challenges unprepared.
