title: The profession of managing professionals.
abstract: As the profession of physician manager grows, an agreed-upon content, what it is that physician managers do, is being defined. In order to adequately judge the performance of members of the profession, however, we will need to move from content to process definitions. We will have to ask ourselves what behaviors should be expected in order for physicians to be granted membership in this new profession.
