PREVIOUS PARTICIPANT COMMENTS “Most of us were not taught leadership principles during medical school. This course has been invaluable in being a leader for my state but also in my own practice. Then COVID hit and this became even more important. It has really helped me navigate these even more challenging times.” (Melinda Rathkopf, M.D.) “Physicians are very highly trained, but even after med school, residency, and fellowship I knew there was a lot I'd missed. We learned an awful lot about human biology, but I don't recall spending an hour of training on running a business with 300 employees, the interpersonal dynamics of a complex practice, or strategic skills revolving around long term goals and partnerships. I'd graduated from 27th grade, but still had to learn all these other subjects on the street! So, you can imagine my appreciation for reasoned advice on leadership and strategic thinking. I'm very grateful to ASMA for offering this opportunity and recommend this for any medical professional facing the challenges of leadership.” (Steven J. Compton, M.D.)
