Physician Leadership Training

The U.S. faces a watershed moment.

At almost 18% of GDP, our current healthcare cost structure is unsustainable. The media headlines are bursting with stories and misinformation, often to the detriment of the healthcare industry.

Healthcare transformation is only possible under leadership provided by the ones who are the lifeblood of healthcare – physicians.

The paradox is that physicians who should be in the vanguard of this transformation are missing for a myriad of reasons and in danger of being relegated to the sidelines. The danger is that in the absence of physician leadership, healthcare transformation will fail to materialize or resemble at best a patchwork of temporary solutions driven by short-term thinking.

CTI Leadership’s Pillars of Transformational Change for Healthcare Leaders

Why Doctors Need Physician Leadership Training

The physician leadership situation is dire:

• 55% of providers report moderate to high level of burnout.
• Only 10% of physicians are engaged.
• Healthcare Safety has not improved enough. The third leading cause of death in the US is preventable events.
• An increasing number of physicians seek early retirement citing “burnout” while more retrench between private practices and hospitals.
• Job dissatisfaction is at an all-time high resulting in more than 20% of physicians moving to a different hospital within the third year of their hire.
• Medical education still focuses too narrowly on clinical skills, graduating generations of physicians taught to treat patients in face-to-face interactions but not to assume the critical leadership roles required in our turbulent age.
• The focus is on individual excellence, not on quality outcomes, service delivery or value.
• We inadvertently keep producing doctors from the old paradigm while the new health age cries out for new skill sets that include leadership, teamwork, collaboration and innovation.

At CTI Leadership, We Believe:

• When medicine meets leadership everything changes: the culture, the care, the way we collaborate, and most importantly, outcomes
• Physician leadership is not a position or a title, it is a mindset
• Where there is strong physician leadership, healthcare organizations benefit. They become purveyors of value – exemplars of quality patient care and cost effectiveness
• When physicians disengage from their vocations, whether due to cynicism or burnout, healthcare transformation becomes impossible to achieve
• Healthcare lags distressingly behind every sector, from business to manufacturing, in succession planning and leadership development
• Organizations that effectively develop their physician leaders have demonstrated better engagement, better alignment and better results in health outcomes, patient and employee satisfaction, and business performance. (as much as 50%)
