This handbook can be used as a comprehensive guide for physician leaders throughout their appointment, providing them with the necessary skills and knowledge they may not have received as part of their medical school training and residency.

Plus, to make staff training easy, this handbook includes a customizable PowerPoint(R) presentation highlighting key takeaways covered in the handbook.
