At WittKieffer, we are conducting comprehensive research on the transformation of physician leadership within healthcare organizations. Through in-depth interviews with sitting physician executives, a national survey of physician leaders, and proprietary analysis of competencies and career pathways, we are exploring how the physician executive role has evolved from traditional quality oversight to enterprise-wide strategic leadership.
This research can help guide health system leadership and aspiring physician executives through the critical talent and organizational design decisions that drive clinical excellence and sustainable growth. The full findings will be released in spring 2026, with this preview highlighting initial key insights from our ongoing study.
