Physician Executive Leadership Institute
Meeting Vermont's Needs for Physician Leaders
The Vermont Medical Society Education & Research Foundation is proud to announce its second statewide Physician Executive Leadership Institute Foundational Course to begin in fall 2020. This course is offered in partnership with the Daniel Hanley Center for Health Leadership and Lumunos, and is supported by funding from the Physicians Foundation.
Perhaps more than ever before physicians and PAs are being asked to step up and skillfully lead rapid change throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Every clinician is being called upon to bring her or his leadership and management styles and skills to the forefront to ensure the best outcomes for Vermont patients. VMSERF is pleased to continue to offer an experiential learning opportunity that will enhance and fine-tune valuable leadership skills and concepts for a statewide cohort of Vermont physicians and PAs.

The physician or PA leader attending this program will benefit from the following:
- A 40-hour curriculum incorporating online resources of Harvard Business Publishing
- 40 Category One CME credits (application in process) *
- One-on-one or group leadership/executive coaching
- Certificate of Completion
- Four quarterly alumni meetings to process leadership challenge
- Long standing and supportive networks of colleagues across the state
- A higher level of personal and professional development
“The PELI course has provided an opportunity to connect with and learn from health care providers across the state, as we all seek to improve our leadership and management skills. It has allowed me to build relationships and develop skills that are invaluable and not taught elsewhere. This has been an amazing professional opportunity that I highly recommend to any health care provider interested in cultivating their leadership skills.”
– Lauren MacAfee, M.D.
"I have learned more about myself, as well as leadership tools and strategies, in 6 months than in over a decade of practice!” - Elizabeth Hunt, M.D.
Course Objectives
The Foundational Course Objectives:
1. Equip physicians and PAs stepping into or already in leadership positions with the necessary knowledge and skills to be successful in their leadership roles.
2. Impart the language of business to more effectively influence the healthcare system at the organizational level.
3. Enable physicians and PAs to be better prepared for the paradigm shift from clinical role to include a system view and leadership role.
4. Enhance physicians’ and PAs’ understanding and provide new tools and skills to improve the relational aspects of managing people and leading teams.
5. Create a trusted statewide cohort - that can be accessed by each other and the system – for leadership support.
