Leadership Academy

Exceptional physician leadership is one of the most crucial components to a successful emergency department, which is why ApolloMD takes the training and education of our hospital Medical Directors seriously. Our approach involves both formal and informal training methods.

We have established the ApolloMD Leadership Academy, whose aim is to equip our physician leaders with the knowledge of clinical and operational best practices to most effectively serve our hospital, physicians, and patients. The Academy is a collaborative effort with top tier academic institutions that incorporates benchmarking, metrics and practical real-world expertise to improve hospital ED performance. In addition, we work with groups such as ACEP, the Baptist Leadership Institute and the American College of Physician Executives to refine our internal organizational practices via the learning from peer institutions nationwide.

The program spans a period of two years. Tailored to train top-tier candidates on cutting edge solutions to everyday problems, the ApolloMD Leadership Academy incorporates the following:
