title: Physician executives and communication.
abstract: This article presents the results of a pioneering survey of American College of Physician Executives members' perceptions of just how skilled they are as communicators and where they feel the need for further training. Listening skills were rated most important and most in need of enhancement, but physician executives agree that managerial communication skills across the board are vital to the success of a health care organization.
