Presentations

MO-C-BRD-0 (Monday, March 9, 2015) 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM Room: Ballroom D


The Leadership and Management session will provide an opportunity for clinical medical physicists to expand their skill sets to encompass those non-technical aspects of professional growth associated with leadership and management. The session provides discussions of the challenging leadership and administrative roles that clinical physicists may participate in and a demonstrative presentation of initiating and carrying through conversations with co-workers, administration and supervisee’s.

The relationship of management methods as described by several well known leadership programs will be presented and related to the role of the medical physicist and the associated impacts on clinical care and departmental operations. Extensions to project management and personnel interactions are illustrated by interactive examples that provide examples of constraints associated with staff, budgetary issues and operational dynamics. The dynamics of personal interactions are illustrated through presentations invoking audience participation and feedback to reinforce examples of effective and ineffective communication methods.

Learning Objectives:
1. Develop and appreciation for the evolving leadership and management roles the medical physicists encounters in clinical practice.
2. Identify options for optimizing the complex process of project management and its effective implementation to deliver quality patient care.
3. Develop interactive skills and strategies that can be employed to successfully address sensitive issues and discussions within the clinical environment.
