Physician Leadership Course (March 06 - May 08, 2026)
Hybrid Event
Mar 06 - May 08, 2026
Seattle, Washington, USA
40 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ ...OVERVIEW
Physician Leadership Course is organized by Washington State Medical Association (WSMA) and will be held from Mar 06 - May 08, 2026 at Puget Sound Plaza, Seattle, Washington, United States of America.
Description:
The WSMA Physician Leadership Course is a 40+ hour hybrid-distance leadership skills-development course for physicians and physician assistants who want to know more about health care leadership.
Once out of residency, many physicians will find themselves leading a multidisciplinary team charged with delivering the highest quality care to our patients. To be an effective team leader, core leadership competencies are required—skills not taught in medical school. Without these skills, physicians may find themselves unprepared and overburdened with unexpected responsibilities—a recipe for burnout.
The WSMA is committed to helping physicians develop the skills they need to thrive professionally in today’s health care environment, regardless of the type or size of your organization. Developing core leadership competencies can strengthen clinician resilience, improve time, and stress management, and help you achieve greater workflow efficiency.
The WSMA Physician Leadership Course combines face-to-face and online learning to enable course participants to begin developing and honing their leadership skills at their convenience. Designed with a physician's busy schedule in mind, only three in-person classes are required; the remainder of the course is conducted online. It’s important you are present all-day for the three in-person sessions. If you are unable to attend all three sessions, then it’s best register for the PLC when you can.
