Physician Leadership

The CSPL is the “go to” organization for physician leaders. Since 1998, it has been providing support and development opportunities for Canadian physicians to help them succeed in their leadership and management roles in healthcare.

The CSPL seeks out opportunities and partnerships to provide Canadian physician leaders with forums for education and networking, to expose them to quality leadership development programs, to recognize physicians in the healthcare system, and to provide membership-valued tools.

The CSPL is the best resource for any physician considering or working in a leadership position at all levels of the Canadian health system. As every physician is a leader and as “Leader” is a role in CanMEDS, physician leaders can and should be found at the systemic, institutional, organizational, and clinical practice level.

News & Updates

The latest issue of CJPL, titled “Shifting the Paradigm: Conference Processings and More” is now availalble.
