Save the Date: CMA’s 9th Annual Leadership Academy Is May 5-7
[Updated 03/16/06]

This year’s conference, “Reengineering Health Care: Meeting Future Expectations Without Breaking the Bank,” will address the challenges of cost, quality, and access to care as “locomotives” of health system reform. Noted economists and leaders from the government, business, and labor sectors, as well as from the health care industry itself, will present a variety of perspectives on how to avert a “train wreck” and put the system on track toward a viable future.

The academy also will feature a powerful slate of nuts-and-bolts leadership skills workshops including:

• Leadership skills for managing change
• Conflict resolution techniques
• How to prepare a compelling presentation
• How to maximize committee effectiveness
• How to deliver medicine’s (or your organization’s) message to the public

The value of these workshops alone makes the CMA Leadership Academy’s low tuition a bargain. Participants can earn up to 17 hours of Category I CME.

The California Health Care Leadership Academy has become a must-attend event for its unique dual focus on leading-edge health policy trends and practical skills development. In fact, colleagues from the “other” CMA—the Canadian Medical Association—will attend this year’s conference with an eye toward designing their own annual leadership conference.
