See how leaders reflect on the Academy’s impact and evolution through the years.
Early in his career, Eric E. Howell, MD, MHM—now the chief executive officer of the Society of Hospital Medicine—was a “prototypical hospitalist,” as he put it. He was young, and he was part of a growing, but still relatively small, medical division. And when it came to certain parts of the job, he was, like so many of his peers, a bit in the dark.
“We’d been trained as physicians, not as leaders and businesspeople,” said Dr. Howell, who was then a hospitalist at Johns Hopkins. “So we were often in the middle of those financial discussions—or, frankly, tense negotiations with other physicians or hospital leaders—and none of that was taught in medical school.”
*Please note, participants must have attended at least one previous Leadership Academy course to participate in the Capstone.
Why your peers love the Leadership Academy…
“Leadership Academy is a great opportunity to network with like-minded healthcare leaders who are eager to advance their careers. For physicians, the courses focusing on developing administrative skills were exceptionally helpful!”
– K. Nadeem Ahmed, MD, FACHDM
