Developing the Physician Leader
Increasingly, physicians are being asked to step into leadership roles in the medical institutions in which they practice. In this rapidly changing healthcare environment, this leadership responsibility is welcomed, as it offers the opportunity for physicians to help shape the future of healthcare. However, the personality traits that make a physician successful, often conflict with the qualities of a successful physician leader. In this highly interactive presentation, the differences in a physician practitioner versus a physician leader will be explored. Participants will learn their own personality traits through a self-administered assessment to identify areas of leadership strength and weakness. Using businesscoaching techniques, participants will acquire methods to strengthen their leadership capabilities.

- Identify and describe the reactions of stress among physicians and healthcare professionals.
- Identify and implement stress-reducing practices.
- Identify and implement practices to become more resilient to stress.
Managing the Disruptive Physician

Lowering Malpractice Risk
Seventy-one percent of malpractice claims are due to a break down in patient-physician communications. Furthermore, patients are much less likely to initiate a malpractice suit against a physician that they trust over a physician that they do not trust…….even for the same untoward outcome! Michael will discuss how to communicate and build trust with patients to minimize liability risk. In this interactive seminar, specific techniques to strengthen relationships and communication skills will be demonstrated and practiced by participants. Additionally, he will illustrate practice-building strategies that physicians can immediately begin using to reinforce the patient-physician relationship.
