Program Features:
Co-consulting teams
Develop answers to problems and issues by leveraging the expertise of your peers. Co-consulting teams create trust and respect between members and provide a life-long support network across institutions.
Action learning projects
Bring a proposed transformational change initiative to the program. Over the ten months, this project will anchor your individual course work, allowing you to apply what you’ve learned to a real world situation and develop a detailed plan to address an interpersonal, organizational, or system challenge.
Fireside leader discussions
Engage with a curated panel of health system leaders between modules. Each one hour small-group coffee chat consists of an informal conversation, led by questions from participants including yourself. You’ll gain insight into leadership challenges, role progression, career options, key skills and competencies, and more.
OMA Physician Leadership Advisory Network
Get support from advisors who might otherwise be difficult to access. The leadership network and supported platform can help you consider and plan ahead for your possible leadership role(s) over the course of your career.
Who should apply?

Program fees
OMA members value leadership training and look to their association to help facilitate access to these new skills. To ensure Ontario’s doctors have access to leadership and professional development opportunities and will be at the table to inform and shape the health-care system of the future, the OMA will be subsidizing a portion of the fees for this program.
The Canadian Medical Association, working together with the OMA, is also providing funds for this program as part of a joint commitment focused on creating a meaningful impact on the health of Canadians and to the overall advancement of the medical profession.
