Physician leadership has long been a recognized entity in health systems, primarily in the construct of formal Medical Staff governance, however, individuals elected to these positions were often undertrained and underdeveloped and the Medical Staff governance structure was traditionally underutilized for strategic and operational planning and execution.

The concept is core to the evolving roles of formal physician leaders, like Chief Medical Officers. Thus, proficient physician leadership is a core element driving organizational success. While many facets of physician leadership transcend all aspects of healthcare, this white paper focuses on applicability to employed physician networks.
