WASHINGTON, DC – April 5, 2023 -- The American Association for Physician Leadership (AAPL) announced today a partnership with organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry that will leverage both organizations’ expertise in leadership development and training.

This advanced partnership will help both groups provide professional development, leadership education, and management training for physicians and healthcare leaders with the overall goal of improving patient outcomes, workforce wellness and healthcare delivery.

“During a period in which so many healthcare organizations are struggling, together, AAPL’s focus on leadership training, content, and professional development along with Korn Ferry’s focus on organizational strategy, assessment, talent acquisition and succession offers a combined approach to benefit individual healthcare leaders and allow their organizations to achieve their goals of reducing costs, improving quality and enhancing the patient experience,” says Dr. Peter Angood, President and CEO of AAPL and Dr. Charles M Falcone, Director of the Korn Ferry Physician Leadership Institute.

AAPL/Korn Ferry will use each other’s existing products and services to augment client needs and bring the best of both organizations to the table in providing world-class leadership training and content.
