CMO/VPMA Retreat
If you are a CMO or VPMA—or are considering this role—join us for the CMO/VPMA Retreat. This immersive program is designed to build management skills and practical knowledge needed to address the real challenges physician executives face. Through peer-to-peer networking and candid discussion, participants gain realistic perspectives on the dual clinical and administrative responsibilities of the role. This reflective experience provides practical tools to help you succeed while balancing clinical credibility with executive leadership.
Why consider this course:
Most physician leaders lead without formal administrative training while maintaining a full clinical practice—often “building the airplane while flying it.” Designed for practicing clinicians, this course provides practical support for leadership challenges.
- Bridging the Gap: Transition from full-time clinician to effective leader and determining if an MBA is needed.
- Defined Authority: Clearly define roles, responsibilities, and the legal authority required to lead effectively.
- Balancing Dual Identities: Navigate the tension of having one foot in the executive suite and one foot in the physician community
- Managing Physician Performance and Conduct: Address difficult conversations, professionalism issues, and performance concerns—often involving peers or former colleagues.
- Rebuilding Trust Once It’s Broken: Repair fractured relationships between physicians, administration, and leadership after conflict or organizational change.
Who should attend:
- Medical Staff Officers
- CMO/VPMA
- Department Chairs & Chiefs
- Chief Strategy Officer
- Medical Directors
- Service Line Leaders & Dyad Managers
The format of the CMO/VPMA was unique and fostered learning from peers. In addition to common topics covered at most seminars, they expertly wove in tips and tools on time management and personal development. I would highly recommend this to all CMOs, especially those in early or mid-career.
