What the Doctor Ordered

The best hospitals create emotional bonds with their physicians

by Deborah A. Paller
Physicians can create tremendous value for healthcare organizations by the revenue they generate through referrals. So it's essential for healthcare executives to understand the concept of physician engagement -- not only how to measure it, but how to improve and sustain it.

Physician Leadership Academy

At the Gallup Physician Leadership Academy, physician leaders -- or those who aspire to be leaders -- learn to enhance their interpersonal effectiveness, management competencies, and strategic decision-making skills.

Participants will learn about the demands of physician leadership and explore how these concepts shape an effective leadership strategy. They also gain a greater understanding of how these demands apply to themselves, their talents, and their leadership style.
