5 tips for leading a medical practice

In recent years, the demand for physicians in academic and hospital leadership roles has been on the rise. With an increasing number of retirements and a shrinking physician workforce, these critical positions are often filled by younger leaders who may not have extensive experience in bridging the gap between clinical practice and organizational leadership. As the health care landscape continues to evolve, the need for capable leaders who can navigate these changes has never been greater.

Embarking on a new career path requires more than just evaluating the job description. It involves understanding the deeper layers of workplace culture, assessing the genuine need for the role and considering the impact a new role will have on your personal life.
