More than ever, the health care field needs dynamic leadership if it is to weather the current tumultuous times. Confronted by withering financial constraints from government and other third-party payers, severe manpower and other resource restraints, an increasingly demanding and knowledgeable customer base, and numerous other management and organizational challenges, health care organizations are seeking leaders with skills, knowledge, courage and the will to reach the top.

The ACPE is the AMA-recognized specialty society representing physicians in health care leadership. For more than 26 years, physicians nationwide have chosen ACPE's publications and innovative educational and career development programs to build the knowledge and skills they need to shape the future of health care.
