Fellows Course: Building Hospital Leadership Relationships
Meeting Hospital Leadership Early
The presenter advised new physicians to reach out to the hospital president soon after arriving, asking about their background and goals, always offering to help, and establishing that future check-ins are welcome rather than waiting to be approached.
Regular Meetings and Honest Feedback
He recommended scheduling regular meetings with a department chair or service line leader, opening with genuine positive observations before raising honest concerns like inefficiency or slow room turnover, and offering a bigger idea worth their consideration.
Community Involvement and Understanding Healthcare Finance
He suggested either engaging in community education and referring physician outreach or serving as a clinical trial site investigator, and learning healthcare finance basics by interviewing knowledgeable colleagues, finding a mentor, and reading about healthcare economics.
Volunteering, Revenue, and Starting with Easy Cases
He urged volunteering for committees and tough projects to build a local reputation, then closed with bonus advice to diversify revenue sources, work transparently with industry, and start a new practice with straightforward cases that build referring physician confidence.
