What People Are Saying About Us
The partnership between The Iowa Clinic and the Physician Leadership Institute has provided us with an educational foundation for our physicians to meet the business challenges in today’s changing environment. Their experiential approach has allowed a unique connection to how the physicians can immediately apply leadership concepts into their professional and daily lives.
C. Edward Brown
CEO, The Iowa ClinicHLI (CTI) and its Physician Leadership Institute had a significant and positive impact on our physicians. Not only did they learn essential leadership skills, but also how to collaborate with others and think strategically, they were able to apply those skills immediately to projects that addressed important, real-world objectives for our health system!
Kim Miller
FACHE, CEO, Beaver Dam Community HospitalI can’t say enough about HLI's (CTI’s) Leadership Fellowship! The lectures were relevant and engaging and the exercises really drove the lessons home. The opportunity to complete a 360 evaluation and have a personal coach make this far better than other conferences and classes I have attended. If you’re given the chance to participate, don’t hesitate. It’s well worth the time. You’ll learn about leadership; you’ll learn even more about yourself.
Mary Beth Hines
DO, CMO, UP Health System PortageI feel that the program has not only made me a better leader, but also a better doctor, partner, husband, father and friend. I used to think that being a good surgeon was about doing surgery well and getting good outcomes. Now I know that I can only be a good surgeon by creating an environment of psychological safety in all of those around me. Teamwork has translated into improved safety of our patients and joy in our work. The Leadership Training was a transformative experience in my life.
