About Advocate Health Care

Recognizing the dramatic shifts in the role and impact of physician leaders, in 2014, Advocate Health Care launched a physician development program (targeting 250 employed and contracted physicians), integrating talent assessment, mentoring, and education. The program focused on increasing the pipeline of prepared physicians. Results included the first comprehensive physician talent pool review, assessment of leadership strengths and gaps, focused development that showed exceptional ratings on relevance, and identification of internal successors for the last two physician leadership roles (saving $175,000 in search fees and 9-12 months in search time per person).
