title: From the bedside to the boardroom.
abstract: There is a need for physicians, including women physicians, to pursue medical management careers within our health care institutions. The physician's training provides skills that are important and transferable to management. These skills are discussed. However, there are gaps in our training related to population approaches, personnel management, and finances that must be learned. Success in a management career is highly dependent on building a high-functioning, integrated team, and the approach to this is discussed.
