Kentucky Physicians Leadership Initiative-London

“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”

—John C. Maxwell, Leadership Expert

Physicians are often looked to as leaders in their community. The Kentucky Medical Association recognizes this important role physicians play and is working to provide training for physicians to fulfill those community expectations. Through a grant from The Physicians Foundation, the Kentucky Foundation for Medical Care and KMA are hosting Local Physician Leadership Symposiums in Bowling Green and London as part of the Kentucky Physicians Leadership Initiative. Bowling Green and London were selected from applications submitted by physicians who attended the Kentucky Physicians Leadership Academy during the 2015 KMA Annual Meeting.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided. This event is a KMA Member only benefit.
