Dr. Don Kennedy writes to improve lives and is the only physician in the country practicing Motivational Medicine. His first published book and self-help program, 5 AM & Already Behind, was written on a dare by best selling author and friend, Michael Gerber (The E-myth). The story about finding your Bahbit™ was a number-one best seller on Amazon and published in three languages. Don has used 5AM in his medical practice and seminars to teach hundreds of patients and students how to achieve a healthy and purposeful life balance. He was also founder and CEO of three family medicine practices, set-up and managed urgent care centers, worked with migrants in the National Health Service Corp, and is a co-founder of the Mind, Body, and Soul Surfing Club ™.

His latest book, The Surfer’s Journey, is a research-based fable using Don’s love for Mother Ocean to motivate and develop socially conscious leaders he calls transformational heroes.

LEADERSHIP IS LEARNED™

For over 50 years.

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.
