title: What makes an effective medical director?
abstract: This article is the second in a two-part series on the changing roles and responsibilities of today's medical director within a medical group setting. As the complexity and demands of the health system have changed, so have the challenges that the new medical director must face to be successful. The first article focused on the duties and responsibilities of the new medical director while this last installment addresses the stylistic considerations that are likely to determine the individual's success or failure.
