The AAPL Solutions consulting programs are designed to address issues confronting young practicing physicians who want to develop the skills necessary for a career path as a physician leader.
The consulting programs include a leadership competency survey at the beginning and end of the consulting project to assess participants’ competencies needed for physician leadership, combined with a series of educational sessions both on-site and through distance learning to cover key leadership topics typically not learned in medical school or residency training. The enduring faculty of AAPL Solutions consulting will be experienced physician leaders who provide career coaching and guidance, mentoring and coaching to the project participants at the beginning and end of the consulting project. A final report and presentation will be made to senior management including key learning and accomplishments, together with documented competency improvements. Typical consulting projects last between 18 and 24 months and can be repeated for new participants. The consulting program is designed to be delivered at the client’s location or at several locations if multiple institutions are participating in the consulting project.
