Why Attend IMQ's "Stepping Up to Leadership" Program September 5, 2013 General Institute for Medical Quality (IMQ), PACE, Stepping Up to Leadership 0 The Institute for Medical Quality and the PACE Program at UC San Diego are proud to announce an unparalleled opportunity for medical staff leaders. The Stepping Up to Leadership program trains medical staff leaders in issues of communication, problem-solving, and improving outcomes for patients and staff—and it’s more accessible than ever. The Stepping Up to Leadership conference will take place on November 7-9, 2013; March 6-8, 2014; and May 8-10, 2014. So why should your medical staff attend the Stepping Up to Leadership conference? Stepping Up to Leadership helps physicians develop the skills and expertise to lead a successful medical staff. The current medical landscape requires leaders who work together and with administrators to make decisions in the best interest of patient safety and excellent care. With support from The Physicians Foundation, the Stepping Up to Leadership conference combines IMQ’s expertise in medical staff matters and PACE’s deep understanding of communication and assessment—and passes them on to medical staff leaders. Stepping Up to Leadership offers unique hands-on learning opportunities, focusing on interactive small-group teaching modalities for deep understanding. The program features excellent faculty and course work on effective staff leadership, credentialing and privileging, assessing the needs of the organization, using CME effectively, resolving on-call issues, improved communication skills, using quality measures effectively, legal considerations, and managing disruptive or impaired colleagues. Stepping Up to Leadership is accessible. For the first time, Stepping Up to Leadership is available as a national event, with events in San Antonio, Texas (November 7-9, 2013); San Diego, California (March 6-8, 2014); and Washington, DC (May 8-10, 2014).
