This multi-month Leadership Lab helps physicians develop the valuable skills essential to leaders in the emerging physician-led, team-based healthcare environment. Physician participants attend two live sessions in January and April, along with webinars and individual coaching sessions. The Immersion program, meanwhile, serves as a special getaway for physicians to gain leadership training in teamwork, collaboration, conflict resolution and media and communications.
