When to Use a SWOT Analysis

2016-08-09T05:47:43-05:00

As a physician executive, you will participate in strategic planning, goal setting, and project management. As a business leader, you will need to assess the risks and benefits of pursuing various new initiatives. One of the tools used by business leaders to do such an assessment is a SWOT analysis. SWOT is an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. The  development of the SWOT Analysis (or Matrix) has been attributed to Albert S.

The Calm Physician Leader

2016-07-26T12:51:59-05:00

On more than one occasion, others commented that they appreciated my ability to remain calm. Apparently, in contrast to some of the other team members, I was pretty unflappable.

Five Steps for the Budding Physician Executive

2016-12-09T15:59:14-06:00

Five Steps for the Physician Executve It always seemed to me that my classmates in medical school and residency were more intentional than me regarding their life choices. I generally just rode the wave of the “path of least resistance.” During my first year of medical school, many of my classmates were enrolled in the “Med Scholars” program, which meant they were simultaneously working on their M.D. degrees AND a Ph.D., M.B.A. or J.D. They obviously had [...]
