Behind every physician executive is a unique story of transition—from clinical practice to the boardroom—shaped by challenges, insights and a deep commitment to improving healthcare.


In this session, a panel of accomplished physician leaders shares how their individual journeys prepared them for leadership, what inspired them to step into executive roles and how their clinical grounding continues to inform their decisions. Together, they’ll reflect on the evolving role of physician leadership, discuss how they’re leveraging their platforms to drive organizational and industrywide change, and offer their perspectives on what’s needed to unify and empower the next generation of physician leaders.


This session brings together a distinguished panel of physician executives to reflect upon where physician leadership has come and where it must go to optimize its future impact. Time will be dedicated for audience Q&A.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss the personal and professional journeys of physician leaders and identify key experiences, skills and decisions that support successful transitions from clinical roles to executive leadership.
  • Recognize emerging opportunities and challenges in physician leadership, as well as strategies for leveraging physician voices to drive transformation within healthcare organizations and the broader industry.
