LUGPA’s Executive Leadership Program
LUGPA’s Executive Leadership Program is a 12-month comprehensive leadership development course designed specifically for independent urology group physicians and administrators. The program will dive deep into communications, finance, team-building, motivation, negotiations, conflict resolution, quality improvement, decision-making and much more. The small cohort of students will work closely together throughout the year, networking in a collegial atmosphere. Both physicians and administrators are eligible to apply for the program.
AAPL Partnership LUGPA is proud to work with American Association for Physician Leadership (AAPL) to provide this program. The AAPL has been providing physicians the knowledge and skills required to become better leaders for more than 40 years. Training more than 1000 physicians each year, the AAPL’s goal is to maximize the potential of physician leadership. When physicians exhibit consistent leadership skills, they are able to transform their teams and organizations. That transformation benefits patient outcomes and improves the state of the health care industry as a whole.
Who Should Apply? The program is designed for urology physicians or administrators 5-15 years out of training who are members of a LUGPA group. Currently, advanced practice providers (APPs) and other staff are not eligible. Individuals who strive to improve their leadership abilities and business acumen in order to rise to new heights in their practice, or in the urological community as a whole, will find this experience valuable. Kickoff and Leadership Self-Assessment
After participating in a kick-off orientation event in which participants meet with select LUGPA leaders, the cohort will embark on a self-evaluation using the CPI 260 Leadership Assessment tool. The CPI 260 interprets the way others perceive respondents as a leader and has been customized to map competencies specific to physician leaders. This instrument contains 260 items carefully selected from the California Psychological Inventory assessment to identify an individual’s strengths and areas for development. After an individual learns more about their personal leadership style, they will receive personal coaching that will help them build skills that will make them a more well-rounded leader.
