Peer Review Boot Camp

Peer review education for physician leaders, medical staff leaders, and quality teams

Peer review is one of the most important—and most sensitive—responsibilities of the organized medical staff. When the process is inconsistent, overly punitive, or poorly understood, it can weaken physician trust, create leadership frustration, and limit improvement. This course helps physician and medical staff leaders build a more fair, consistent, and improvement-focused peer review process. Your team will gain practical tools to strengthen case review, clarify OPPE and FPPE, improve committee effectiveness, and support quality, safety, and accountability across the organization.

This program is designed to help leaders move beyond theory and equip their teams with a practical, defensible approach to peer review that supports physician improvement and organizational performance.

  • Clarify OPPE and FPPE: Help leaders understand how to design, interpret, and use performance evaluation tools as part of an effective improvement strategy.
  • Prepare current and emerging leaders: Give committee chairs, members, and support staff the confidence and skills to lead peer review effectively.
