Summary
Confluence Health is improving physician leadership by implementing a comprehensive leadership development strategy led by Dr. Galen Sorom. The healthcare system emphasizes diverse leadership skills, aiming to enhance physician satisfaction and reduce burnout. To identify leadership needs, Confluence Health conducts non-performance-related surveys for constructive feedback and support. Acknowledging the lack of leadership training in medical schools, the organization provides flexible learning options, including podcasts and short educational modules, to facilitate professional development while accommodating the busy schedules of physician leaders. New leaders benefit from targeted training programs focusing on critical issues like burnout.
