WHY I BELONG TO CSPL
“I am very proud to be a CSPL member and serve on the board. We are a small, yet mighty organization that makes a real difference in physician leadership development, ever more critical with the ongoing need to innovate and reform healthcare. As a resident, getting involved in CSPL early has been very beneficial and already made me a better leader.

“The CSPL is advancing physician leadership through strategic partnerships and academic offerings and has established a respected physician leadership credential that is well recognized. The recent pandemic has demonstrated the absolute importance of physician leadership during times of crisis and I believe the CSPL provides all physicians with an excellent access point to the world of physician leadership and the support to advance your career to the level of your desired advocacy or leadership (no matter your experience or current position).”

“The conference is one of the best 2 (or 4) days I spend each year. The networking and getting to know people in medical leadership has made my work as a medical leader less lonely and more enjoyable.
The skills I have learned or had reemphasized through the journal and more recently the bulletins and podcasts are useful to me every day.
I have met interesting people from all over the country whom I would never have met any other way – built friendships that are enduring.”
