title: Building physician capacity for transformational leadership.
abstract: Hospital physicians often have little formal preparation for leadership roles. The St. Joseph's Health Centre program for physician leaders includes a competency profile, personal development plans, self-directed reflective learning, and action learning groups to work on current challenges. The program, developed with the participation of physicians, is intended to promote a culture that recognizes and supports physicians' contribution to hospital leadership and in which medical staff and hospital administrators work collaboratively and share accountability.
