PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Providers today face an era of change unlike any before. Reform policies, shifting requirements and fiscal uncertainty create a chaotic atmosphere for professionals and providers. Times like these require strong leaders with innovative and focused decision-making abilities. Participants in this program will gain the tools to become successful leaders in today’s complex health care environment.
PROGRAM STRUCTURE
Participants achieve the Physician Business Leadership Certification by attending the educational sessions and additional requirements in networking and involvement with other industry activities. The content focuses on:
• Equipping providers for today’s health care: Helping physicians improve their execution, efficiency and effectiveness.
• Foundational leadership skills: Fundamental leadership and business skills.
• Hot topics: Issues in health care delivery affecting physicians (e.g., crisis management and behavioral health program development).
