		<description>I completely agree that there is a growing need for physician leaders who understand the increasingly complex challenges we currently face.  Fostering leadership and mentoring new leaders within HPM remains one of the Academy&#039;s strategic goals.  There are numerous opportunities within the Academy&#039;s governance structure for interested volunteers to become involved and gain general experience that will aid them along this path.  How to assist with more specific experience along a given track is also something the Academy is exploring.  Expect to see more on this over the course of the next year.</description>

		<description>Thanks for writing about this.  
This further highights the need for more education and training in leadership, quality, management for palliative care physicians.  We often consider different roles in professional development as physicians: research-track, clinical-track, education-track.  For people interested in leadership, how do we as a field develop a management/administrator track?  Should we?
There are some good groups out there to help with filling in the holes when it comes to gaining business knowledge - my favorite is ACPE (American Academy of Physician Executives) which supports education towards either MBA or MMM (Masters in Medical Management).
Thanks again!</description>
