Welcome to the Administration in Medicine Elective

Description

The Administration in Medicine Elective is a 2 week elective working directly with Dr. Joe Bateman, Medical Director of The Christ Hospital Medical Associates (TCHMA). Under Dr. Bateman's mentorship, the resident will gain significant experience in management and leadership in health care. Residents will attend meetings, discuss budget and finances in health care, participate in personnel management, and review/develop Policy and Procedures. In addition, each resident will complete a quality improvement project under the supervision of Dr. Bateman.

Family physicians are being required to take a much more active role in management and leadership in our changing health care system and this elective will provide valuable tools for everyone whether you plan to pursue a career as a Medical Executive or a clinician in a family medicine office.
