A message from Dr. John Carmack, 2006-07 Institute Fellow, on his program experience:

Speaking of experience...you should seriously think about participating in the Claude Moore Physician Leadership Institute. It will broaden your leadership skills and views of the health care world. Too many doctors I have spoken to have said, "I don't think I have the time," or "how much time does that take?" Again trust me, if you plan on pursuing a path in physician leadership, you will spend more time frustrated and disillusioned with your leadership role by not having the necessary training. Many of your colleagues have few of these skills, and this knowledge will continue to give you an edge for success.

It is not by accident that successful leaders accomplish their goals. It is not by accident that successful leaders are able to tap into an organization’s resources to further their own objectives. And it is not by accident that successful leaders have the influence among their colleagues and superiors to advance their agendas.

The behaviors we must employ as successful leaders do not come naturally. In fact, the opposite behaviors are the norm often leading to our ineffectiveness and failure. To begin your path to successful leadership, I would strongly suggest this program.
