Medical Executive Committee Institute

Essential Training for All Physician Leaders

The Medical Executive Committee Institute equips new physician leaders for the responsibilities of medical staff governance and helps current leaders stay ahead of evolving issues and proven leadership practices. Participants gain practical guidance on Greeley methodologies, easy-touse frameworks—the Pyramid, C&P Principles, Peer Review strategies, and a four-step physician management approach. Built by CMOs for the next generation of leaders and led by engaging, experienced physician leadership educators. This program reinvigorates leaders and strengthens their commitment to these essential roles.

Why consider this course:

  • Regulatory Mastery: Understand the acronym soup for what is actually required.
  • Defined Authority: Clearly define roles, responsibilities, and the legal authority required to lead effectively.
  • Culture of Excellence: Transform Peer Review from a punitive "gotcha" process into a positive driver of clinical quality.
  • Data-Driven Governance: Learn where to find and how to use internal data sources to support MEC decisions.

Who should attend:

  • Medical Staff Officers
  • Department Chairs
  • Service Line & Section Chiefs
  • Medical Directors
  • Board Members

  • CMO/VPMA

As a newcomer to MEC in a private hospital, this course was incredibly informative and gave me a much better understanding of the role of MEC in our smaller, independent hospital. I would consider this seminar to be a prerequisite for all newcomers to MEC!
