CLINICAL LEADERS
ApolloMD Leadership Academy for Physicians & APCs
At ApolloMD, we understand excellent physicians and advance practice clinicians are the lifeblood of our business, and we invest in our clinical partners by offering leadership development opportunities.
Through the ApolloMD Leadership Academy, physicians and APCs augment their clinical skills with training in management, operations, and communication. Equipped with the knowledge and experience to effectively lead a clinical team, our physicians, NPs, PAs and CRNAs are able to excel as medical directors or Lead APCs.
Involving both formal and informal methods, the Leadership Academy is a collaborative effort with top-tier academic institutions that incorporates benchmarking, metrics and practical real-world expertise to improve hospital performance through medical director and Lead APC training. In addition, we work with groups such as SHM, ACEP, RSNA, the Baptist Leadership Group and the American College of Physician Executives to refine our internal organizational practices via learning from peer institutions nationwide.
The leadership training 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:

“What I found is ApolloMD specializes in building young leaders. The most fulfilling part of me being medical director is the collaboration I’m able to build and to have with my APCs, with the nursing staff and with all of ApolloMD. It’s been a great experience so far. I love working for ApolloMD.”
