Four New Skills Physician Executives Must Learn

John Jurica2017-01-19T11:02:56-06:00

As I grew into my role as physician executive, it became apparent that there were several new sets that I needed to learn that were not part of my medical training. As a physician, I was trained to obtain a thorough history and perform a physical exam, to formulate a problem list and differential diagnosis, and develop a treatment plan.
