Maureen Regan PA-C, MBA, DFAAPA, FACHE

Maureen Regan’s career path from clinical provider to healthcare executive might be summed up in seven words: “I was never afraid to change gears.” After taking her first position as a surgical PA in 1985, Regan, PA-C, MBA, FACHE, moved on to positions in academic medicine, hospital operations, and ambulatory surgery over the next three decades, all while raising five children. Asked what drew her to continually take on new leadership roles, Regan says simply, “They serendipitously presented themselves and I saw each one as an opportunity.”
Regan will be talking about her career path at the Executive Leadership Conference hosted by AAPA’s Center for Healthcare Leadership and Management, which will take place from November 6 to 8 in the Washington, D.C., area. The goal of the conference is to help PAs identify the leadership competencies and management skills they need to succeed in a variety of healthcare settings. Sessions will focus on topics such as defining leadership roles and how to get there, understanding your personal leadership style, measuring your workforce, and implementing negotiation skills and strategies.
