Essential Competencies for Leaders in Health Care

Who Should Attend

The Institute is designed as a resource for Division Chiefs, Hospitalist Directors, Associate Chiefs, Section Heads, Administrators, and other leaders in Divisions of GIM. Leaders are encouraged to attend, actively participate, and consider bringing along a colleague from their Institution who would benefit from attendance and leadership development.  It offers an unparalleled opportunity to network with the community of scholars devoted to GIM.  Chiefs from other IM sections, administrators and anyone with a leadership role within GIM divisions are also encouraged to participate.  We look forward to welcoming you to this community. 

Institute Goals

The goals of the Institute are to build leadership and management skills among current and future leaders in General Internal Medicine, as well as to communicate and inform chiefs of emerging critical challenges and solutions to meeting their mission and leadership roles.  

Morning Session:

8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Physician leaders are increasingly integral in the planning and implementation of health system changes. With the focus on ambulatory practice re-design such as the Patient Centered Medical Home models and larger health system redesign, such as the Accountable Care Organizations, physician leaders can offer expertise and leadership as their organizations evolve. To be most effective, aspiring and current leaders can benefit from an understanding of competencies around Leadership in Health Care.
