Abstract

The traditional in-person, strategic retreat is coming back after having been relegated to virtual gatherings for more than two years. The format is simple—key practice leadership, such as the managing partner or practice manager, hosts a dedicated strategic planning meeting, typically off-site and often over the weekend, for the physicians. The goal is for the team to return with a clear vision for the future and a renewed sense of teamwork with their fellow physicians. This article discusses the importance of practice retreat and offers suggestions for conducting a meaningful and productive retreat.

The American Association for Physician Leadership has helped physicians develop their leadership skills through education, career development, thought leadership and community building.

The American Association for Physician Leadership (AAPL) changed its name from the American College of Physician Executives (ACPE) in 2014. We may have changed our name, but we are the same organization that has been serving physician leaders since 1975.
