Physician Leadership Is a Global Phenomenon

Abstract

Historically, the medical profession’s evolution has already passed through many phases of maturation, and clearly, we are in the midst of another major transformation. These evolutionary phases included not only medical science and technology, but also shifting approaches to patient interactions and expectations of society. They have always included the potential for cross-cultural collaboration and learning. Continent by continent and country by country, there are significant differences and preferences in the medical profession, but in today’s world, there is wonderful opportunity to leverage these differences for the betterment of our industry through physician leadership.
