The Memphis Medical Society (MMS) and Mid-South Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) announce the new Mid-South Healthcare Leadership Institute (MHLI), a leading institution dedicated to aspiring healthcare leaders. MHLI aims to graduate cohorts of medical professionals with new skills and resources to help them excel in healthcare leadership. Ideal cohort members could be any individual who shows exceptional drive and purpose for healthcare leadership, whether they are a mid-level manager, medical assistant, nurse, etc. With the Memphis medical community in mind, the Institute hopes to positively impact the future of local healthcare leadership by nurturing individuals early in their careers. 

Locally, Memphis has several opportunities for aspiring leaders to participate in leadership and growth opportunities, but there is no program explicitly dedicated to the needs of a healthcare professional. The inaugural MHLI cohort will attend 6 sessions dedicated to areas necessary to excel in healthcare leadership, such as Lean Six Sigma, emotional intelligence, reporting, and critical decision-making. MHLI has gathered several key leaders to teach these sessions, both locally and outsourced.

The application process for the fall cohort is now open. Registration in this initial cohort is just $260 per participant. If you are interested in sending a member of your staff through the program, now is the opportunity to encourage them to apply or reach out directly for more information. Many should be receiving this information via email, and it will be posted on each organization’s website as soon as possible.
