MD 2.0: Physician Leadership

for the Information Age

Grace E. Terrell, MD, MMM, FACP, CPE, FACPE, and J.M. Bohn, MBA

In today’s complex society, health care challenges are no longer adequately addressed by the traditional paternalistic physician role. Health care must be physician-led, but patient-centered. In this paradigm shift, effective leadership must be collaborative rather than authoritarian, proactive rather than reactive.

MD 2.0: Physician Leadership for the Information Age takes you on a historical journey of the medical profession and the transitions that brought it to where it is today. The authors analyze the factors affecting the development of physician leaders, address some of the barriers facing physician leaders and provide insight about how to overcome these barriers.

MD 2.0 is about the transformation that will help physicians strengthen their ability to lead. You’ll get the insight necessary to think through the implications of leadership and health policy considerations in the current environment. Members: $35 • Non-members: $55

Practicing Excellence

Stephen C. Beeson, MD

So much of a medical organization’s success rides on the leadership, conduct and performance of its physicians. How does a health care organization engage its physicians to lead by example? And how does a physician—in the midst of 25 appointments, 30 phone messages, hospital rounds and the details of “managing” a clinical practice—do what needs to be done to foster satisfaction and loyalty among patients? Practicing Excellence eloquently answers these questions.

Written by a physician for physicians, the book serves as a tactical guide to create exceptional care for patients utilizing the leadership of engaged, impassioned physicians trained to be the best and inspired to make a difference.
