"In the current health care climate, physiatrists must be willing to step into leadership positions to assure appropriate level of care transitions for patients and to ensure that vital physiatric skills are incorporated into patient-centered pathways for all areas of PM&R specialization. We are very excited that the Leadership Institute is being designed to speak directly to physiatric needs for postacute rehabilitation, musculoskeletal/pain practices, and individual practices in every community. Leadership training designed for physiatrists by physiatrists." 
         - Kathleen R. Bell, MD, FAAPMR, Leadership Institute Program Director

"For the good of our patients and our practices, physiatrists must prepare themselves to be impactful leaders in the acute/post-acute care continuum redesign brought about by the inexorable move to pay-for-value. Having a meaningful voice “at the table” requires critical sets of knowledge and skills that are just not taught in our training. So we are excited that the Academy has designed the Leadership Institute to meet your individual leadership needs – from private practitioner to hospital executive. Join the journey to becoming an even more effective physiatrist leader, for your patients, yourself, and our field."
