Summary
"The Medical Executive Committee Essentials Handbook breaks down the medical executive committee role to facilitate understanding of the role's responsibilities and provide strategies for being an exemplary committee member. Oftentimes physicians end up in a leadership position without really knowing what the job entails and what they are meant to accomplish. This handbook can be used as a comprehensive guide for physician leaders throughout their appointment, providing them with the necessary skills and knowledge they may not have received as part of their medical school training and residency. Plus, to make staff training easy, this handbook includes a customizable PowerPoint® presentation highlighting key takeaways covered in the handbook."--Provided by publisher.
