Every so often, I come across a healthcare leadership event with an agenda that makes me think immediately of the PLC Network community. Rewiring Healthcare: Foundation to Future, taking place October 20–21 in Nashville, is one of those events.

Physicians are increasingly being asked not only to provide excellent clinical care, but also to lead teams, shape culture, improve performance, and help their organizations navigate what comes next. This conference is designed to provide practical, workable strategies to help you meet that challenge.

Here are four compelling reasons to attend:

1. Tap the leadership potential of your APCs. Don Taylor, my partner in developing From Healer to Leader: The Path to Physician Leadership, will lead a breakout on Developing and Engaging Advanced Practice Clinicians. He and a group of APC leaders will share practical ways to develop APCs as leaders and strengthen physician-APC partnerships. 
2. Make sure physicians have a seat at the leader development table. Dr. Erin Rains will share a healthcare partner perspective in Physicians as Leaders: Why Inclusion in Leader Development Matters. She’ll explore why physicians should be intentionally included in leader development and how this influences culture, performance, and organizational priorities. 
3. Embrace what’s next without losing what matters most. Dr. Thom Mayer, medical director for the NFL Players Association, will present on Leading Healthcare Into the Future: Creating a More Personalized Patient Experience. He’ll look at how innovation and more personalized care can move healthcare forward while keeping human connection at the center. 
4. Trust can make or break a team. Learn how to protect it. Dr. Gerald Hickson, founding director of Vanderbilt Health’s Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy, will speak on Professionalism and Trust in Healthcare. He’ll explore the behaviors that build or erode trust and how leaders can strengthen accountability, respect, and teamwork.
