title: Physician execs bring clinical insight to non-clinical challenges.
abstract: Many physicians look to administrative careers as a natural step in their professional development. But the training and development of a hospital manager is strikingly different from that of a clinician. Physician executives who've made the transition to a variety of posts, including that of CEO, speak out on the shifts and surprises involved in making the transition.
