Gain a greater understanding of the skills and characteristics needed to aid in the development of leadership
Help medical educators provide more direct and effective leadership training
Modern medical training is lengthy and very costly. Throughout this period, knowledge and skills are being gained, many of which aid in the development of leadership skills and characteristics. This book aims to provide a greater understanding of those skills and characteristics based on the author’s experiences in medical education and as an executive and through interviews with physician leaders of diverse interests, backgrounds, and experiences. While the leadership skills learned and demonstrated by these physician leaders are not all unique to them, the methods of learning these skills are often quite distinct from their non-medical counterparts. The hope is that A Prescription to Lead: How Medical Training Prepares America's Physician Leaders will help medical educators provide more direct and effective leadership training while providing insights to those outside of medicine who might benefit from the medical model.
Read some of the reviews and praises for this helpful resource: "The need for capable, empathetic physician leaders of our huge, complex, and expensive healthcare system is acute. Robert Simari, a distinguished clinician, scientist, educator, and now administrator, explains the important roles played by physician leaders, and places this need into a broad context. In this well-written, eminently readable book, he provides useful suggestions on how to meet this important challenge.”
– Eugene Braunwald, MD, Distinguished Hersey Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston
“Brilliant. A thought-provoking and highly readable examination of how the education and training of physicians produces effective leaders, and how it can be done even better. Dr. Rob Simari, an accomplished professional and experienced leader in his own right, captures the challenges of forging the leaders the well-being of our nation, and the world, need.”
