This bounded case study explored ten purposefully selected physician participants’ perceptions of the effectiveness of an eight session, two year in-house physician leadership development program at a major Academic Medical Center (AMC) in the Midwest. While physicians are generally educated to care for patients in their specialty area, reforms necessitate the need for physician leadership involvement in metric tracking by healthcare organizations in order to provide a focus on quality patient care and safety. Participants indicated finding the course effective, especially the negotiations and finance modules. These modules provided new language, a better understanding of processes and an opportunity to develop skills through interactive class exercises such as case studies. Participants described an increased self-awareness of their interpersonal skills and expressed a desire for greater exposure to emotional intelligence principles. Participants experienced a transformational shift in how they constructed their identity as a physicians and leaders, and questioned assumptions about the physician’s role in healthcare. While effective in initiating a process of exploration, this course was not sufficient to meet the goals and objectives of the program. Therefore, recommendations for the advanced course included a focus on leadership competencies identified by Dye and Garman (2006) as cited by Dye and Sokolov (2013), emotional intelligence, and transformational leadership.

Doctoral thesis, Uppsala University, Department of Public Health and Caring Sciences, 2004. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-4144.
Full textDuring the last decade, there has been a renewed interest in physicians´ working conditions at a time when health care is undergoing major structural and financial changes. Physicians report decreasing work satisfaction and at the same time increasingly contemplate on leaving their profession. Despite an increasing proportion of female physicians, they are underrepresented in management positions. Very often, female physicians also report worse personal health and less organisational influence than their male colleagues. Management programs have been viewed as an important vehicle to improve working conditions and career development for female physicians.
The aim of the present thesis was to evaluate the effects on individual health, professional development, perception of organisational structure and career development. Fifty-two female physicians participated in structured 1-year management programs. The control group consisted of 52 physicians not participating in any formal management education during the study period. The female physicians were compared with 157 male physicians in order to evaluate possible gender and manager-reported differences on individual and organisational well-being. The study also assessed occupational predictors of individual well-being, health and professional development for managers.
Participants in management programs reported a clearer organisational structure and improved professional development and influence. However, there were no significant effects with regard to health, sickness absenteeism, nor career development. Male and female physicians differed in several areas when assessed as a group, but stratifying for management level, most of the gender-related differences disappeared. When managers rated clearer organisational structure, this was associated with higher ratings on individual well-being and professional development.
Management programs for female physicians might have some beneficial effects but these programs need to be better defined and targeted to the most important issues at hand to recruit future managers. Furthermore, these programs must be better integrated with other processes to create efficient and able managers.

Full textIntroduction The Human Resource Strategic Plan of the Ethiopian Ministry of Health lists current health workforce problems as a high attrition rate among public service physicians, poor human resource management, non-conducive working conditions and high workloads. In Addis Ababa's public hospitals, the turnover of physicians is high and - as repeatedly and informally reported by hospital managers - the presence of the contributory factors listed above are also anecdotally thought to be present. These factors present a serious challenge to the delivery of high quality health care services and their presence indicates that the job satisfaction of physicians is likely to be low. However, factors responsible for job dissatisfaction among physicians and their implications for staff turnover have not been studied or documented in the context of Ethiopia's health system. It was this scenario that motivated the researcher to conduct this study in order to assist policy makers in taking appropriate actions, if and as required. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the level of job satisfaction, the factors influencing job satisfaction and the consequences of job satisfaction among physicians in public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Objectives: • To describe the job satisfaction levels of physicians in public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia • To identify factors affecting the job satisfaction levels of physicians • To assess possible consequences linked to physicians' job satisfaction levels. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure job satisfaction, composed of 65 individual variables grouped within 13 dimensions and adapted to the Ethiopian context from the Job Descriptive Index and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. An additional questionnaire was used to assess socio-demographic variables and the possible consequences of low job satisfaction. Analysis: A composite job satisfaction score was obtained by summing the individual answers for each of the variables to assess overall job satisfaction. Bivariate analysis was undertaken, using 2X2 tables (with 95% confidence intervals) to calculate the prevalence ratio for each of the potential causes and consequences of low job satisfaction, using the composite score cut-off levels of job satisfaction. Multivariate analysis was undertaken to obtain the adjusted prevalence odds ratios for both the potential causes and consequences of low job satisfaction, using multiple logistic regression analysis.

Full textABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION
The Effect of Patient Race upon Physicians Colorectal Cancer Screening: A Retrospective Medical Record Review and Physician Pattern Variable Analysis
There is a significant disparity in the health status of African-Americans and whites in the United States. Studies have revealed that African-Americans have higher mortality rates from colorectal cancer than whites. Differences in colorectal cancer screening of African-Americans compared to whites may account for a proportion of the excess mortality. This study evaluated internal medicine resident physicians colorectal cancer screening practices in African-American and white patients. Additionally, an analysis of physicians pattern variable orientation was performed to determine if there was a relationship between physicians orientation and adherence to colorectal cancer screening guidelines.
A retrospective review of medical records from January 2002 through March 2002 was conducted to assess internal medicine resident physicians performance of colorectal cancer screening. Univariate analysis revealed that there were statistically significant differences in the rate at which physicians performed rectal examinations (p=0.0039), fecal occult blood testing (p=0.0006) and colonic examinations (p<0.0001) in African-American compared to white patients. Multivariate analysis, evaluating patient race, patient gender, patient age and physician gender, demonstrated that patient race was the only factor significant for not performing colorectal cancer screening tests.
Physicians perspectives about the medical profession and the delivery of medical services were assessed by evaluating pattern variable orientations. Integrative, value and motivational orientations of the physicians were determined by using semi-structured interviews. All of the physicians had a self-orientation (integrative pattern variable), a universalistic-achievement orientation (value pattern variables) and a specificity orientation (motivational pattern variable). However, the physicians differed in their affectivity-affective neutrality orientation (motivational pattern variable). All of the physicians who had an affective orientation toward their patients adhered to colorectal cancer screening recommendations. The physicians who expressed affective neutrality toward their patients did not adhere to colorectal cancer screening recommendations.
This study revealed significant differences in the performance of colorectal cancer screening in African-American compared to white patients. Additionally, physicians pattern variable orientations correlated with adherence to practice guidelines. This study is important because it provides information about physician practice patterns. The results of this study can serve as the basis for the development of educational interventions for physicians that can improve health care delivery.
