STEPS Forward webinar series

On June 8, 2021, the AMA held a webinar in the AMA STEPS Forward™ series: “Crossing the divide: Building bridges between physicians and administration.”

Trust between health care organization leaders and front-line clinicians is essential, but far too often this trust is low or absent altogether.

In this webinar, Paul DeChant, MD, MBA, discussed where both roles may find new opportunities for alignment, in order to build relationships in which physicians can regain professional control while supporting enterprise-wide success.
