Become an Effective Board Member with WSMA Effective Board Governance Course

One-day virtual seminar, Nov. 15, 2024

The WSMA Effective Board Governance Course, led by Ed Walker, MD, is a full-day seminar providing in-depth education about governance: what it is, what boards do, why they exist, and how you can be an effective participant. This course is open to alumni and non-alumni of WSMA's leadership courses who are in a physician leadership role in their organization.

Now more than ever, physicians are being asked to serve on the board of their clinic, medical group, or integrated system. But to be an effective board member it is important to understand the difference between a constituency-based board and a representative board, what's expected of you in terms of fiduciary responsibility, who you are expected to represent, and how to be effective in communicating as a board member. Equipped with this knowledge, physicians can be even stronger leaders and bring a powerful voice and perspective to any board.

Register for the course online. The registration deadline is Tuesday, Oct. 15. This activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
