In collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Alabama Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the University of South Alabama Department of Pediatrics recently hosted a Pediatric Leadership Alliance Session at the Strada Patient Care Center.
The multi-day workshop provided both didactic and hands-on elements to help attendees understand their role in the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model and how they can be a leader in the process. More than 55 pediatric health care staff attended the event, including leadership from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
�The workshop gave nurses, physicians, residents and administrators the opportunity to enhance the leadership skills needed to transform health care practices to align with the patient-centered medical home model,� said Natalie Fox, manager of clinical operations for pediatrics at USA Physicians Group. �The sessions were interactive and encouraged active learning for participants.�
The event was led by Dr. Gil Liu, chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Pediatric Leaders Alliance, and featured five speakers: Dr. Daniel Preud�Homme, director of the USA Pediatric Healthy Life Center and professor of pediatrics at the USA College of Medicine; Dr. Michael Ramsey, a pediatrician in Dothan, Ala.; Dr. Francis Rushton, medical director for South Carolina Quality through Technology and Innovation in Pediatrics and professor of pediatrics at South Carolina School of Medicine in Columbia, S.C.; Dr. James Wiley, chief medical officer of Focus-MD in Mobile, Ala.; and Dr. Craig Pearce, Ben May Distinguished Professor at the USA Mitchell College of Business.
