“In order to be heard throughout their communities and health care systems, physicians need to remain engaged and expand their voice. This is where PAMED can help. Through programs geared towards physician leadership training, we teach vital skills that help physician leaders take the lead on important discussions surrounding decision-making in medical practice settings and health systems.”
