PHYSICIAN LEADER GROUP
Empowering Physicians to Lead Change
Physician Leadership Strategy and Program Development
As part of the Center for Physician Leadership, PLG partners with physician and administrative leaders in health systems and hospitals to create and implement a highly tailored physician leadership strategy and development program that reflects the unique culture and needs of their group.
We work closely with our client partners to create a sustainable strategy that is tied directly to organizational Goals, Mission & Vision. We help lead the conversation around which level of physician leaders need primary focus and where to begin, based on business need and outcomes desired. We ensure that the strategy is integrated into established organizational processes and fits your unique culture. Our Physician Leadership Development Solutions are built in alignment with your organization's defined leadership competencies, and with the involvement of the physicians and other key stakeholders.
