Mission

To teach leadership skills and provide executive coaching to physician leaders and healthcare executives so that they develop innovative, collaborative, patient-centered solutions to today’s challenges that will transform not only their institutions but ultimately the healthcare delivery system as a whole.

Overview

The Institute for Medical Leadership was created to help physician leaders and healthcare executives meet the challenges facing today’s healthcare industry. It was founded by Dr. Susan Reynolds and has its roots in the Physician Leadership Training Institute she developed in 1998 for the American Medical Association. From The Institute’s inception, Dr. Reynolds’ goal has been to further patient-centered leadership and management in the healthcare industry. Recognizing that change in the industry required skills not traditionally taught in medical school, she formulated a thorough and well-researched curriculum and recruited a faculty of nationally known experts to teach physicians the skills they need to maximize their effectiveness as they transition into leadership positions.

The Institute teaches leadership and management skills and provides up-to-date insight into the regulations and requirements affecting healthcare organizations and their staff. It also offers legislative updates at both the national and state level so that leaders can anticipate future developments that will affect their institutions. By expanding its faculty, The Institute’s programs now allow not only physician leaders, but also healthcare executives and Board members to hone their skills and better understand the mindset and motivations of healthcare providers.
