Canadian Conference of Physician Leadership

The Canadian Society of Physician Leaders is hosting a Canadian Conference on Physician Leadership May 26 and 27, 2023 in Vancouver, BC.

Through face-to-face discussions with colleagues and international experts, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Recognize how the idea of hope and a ‘Renew the Future’ perspective can shift one’s position to becoming an active protagonist in making the changes the healthcare system needs.
• Know what is meant by Slow Medicine and how medicine is better understood as a craft and a profession than as a commodity.
• Discuss how leaders can apply a systems framework to address intractable healthcare problems.
• Identify the elements of a learning and work environment that promotes critical consciousness development, as well as the flourishing of diverse members, within it.
• Develop an approach to early intervention in conflict to promote constructive engagement and conflict solutions.
• Describe collaborative design and how it can be applied to problem-solving to improve patient care.
• Recognize how leadership responses can help and harm teams and individuals that are physically and emotionally depleted.
• Identify and co-create key strategies used in the Emergency Health Services system of care that can be applied to your own local healthcare ecosystem.
• Discuss and practice the capabilities of the LEADS leadership framework through the sharing of personal and professional issues in a fireside chat format.
• Explore perspectives on the potential for digital health and virtual care to enhance patient experiences, during a time of strained healthcare resources.
• Define and examine a holistic applicant review and outcomes-based approach to selecting and hiring to meet community-identified needs.
