  • Topic 1: ROI of Physician Leadership
    How has investing in your development as a physician leader manifested in your day-to-day work?

These sessions will outline problems organization faced and how physician leaders solved them through use of their leadership skills, while demonstrating quantitative results to the organization. 
  • Topic 2: Optimizing Payor Relationships
    As healthcare delivery continues to evolve and transform, so do healthcare payment models. Essential to a physician leader’s development is the skillset to navigate the complex and ever-changing landscape of payors. Sessions on this topic will aim to provide insight and increase member understanding of how payors work, and how physician leaders can best communicate and partner with them to improve patient care and outcomes. 
  • Topic 3: Optimizing Practice Management
    What does a physician leader, or group of physician leaders, need to know to lead their own practice in today’s competitive healthcare market? Sessions on this topic will explore case studies of leading and operating practices effectively. Additionally, the benefits of interprofessional collaboration will be discussed.
  • Topic 4: Leveraging AI in Healthcare
    The rapid advancement and implementation of emerging and developing AI technologies is shaking up industries everywhere, including healthcare. These sessions will explore what physician leaders need to know about AI to lead their organizations successfully, and ethically. 
  • Topic 5: Benefits of Building Optimal Cultures
