Testimonials

“Physician Leadership College was the best postgraduate course of my career; an invaluableexperience.” — Cohort 7 participant

“PLC validated that the leadership work I am doing is hard, but it is real work; work that is as important as direct patient care. I realize now that I could not have continued in leadership without attending PLC.” — Cohort 9 participant

“PLC was a pivotal point in my career. I changed from feeling undeserving of ‘sitting at the table’ to not only ready to be there but aware of how much I contributed to moving the work forward. This was the absolute best adult learning experience of my life after residency.”

— Cohort 11 participant

“PLC has you look more at the bigger picture; notonly your own microcosm of where you work but the bigger organization and what excites me… health care nationally and how we can makeit better.” — Cohort 8 participant

“Being a physician can be lonely and to spend quality time with colleagues in a learning environment such as PLC provided me with people who share my passion for doing good for society and helping mankind. My life, my work, and my long-term goals have been completely changed because of PLC.”

— Cohort 10 participant
