Unlock your leadership potential at the 8^th Annual Leadership and Management in Geriatrics 2010, April 9-10, 2010 in Long Beach, CA, chaired by Dan Osterweil, MD,CMD.  Presented by SCAN Health Plan^® in collaboration with the UCLA Multicampus Program in Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology, LMG is an intensive and interactive workshop where physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, and allied health professionals who work in high volume geriatric practices are trained how to design and implement a worksite quality improvement project.  Faculty experts in the fields of business, geriatric medicine, leadership, and management provide instruction and mentoring throughout the two days, as well as after the conference

At LMG, participants learn the business side of geriatrics, how to maximize their potential to manage and lead, as well as creative ways to practice geriatrics successfully. This is an opportunity to enhance clinical skills with leadership skills.

The unique program design calls for a low faculty/participant ratio. Participants prepare a short outline of a leadership/management issue from their worksite before coming to conference, then focus on this issue throughout the conference.  Participants work in small collaborative groups with a faculty mentor on this issue, and then participants can work one-on-one with a faculty mentor after the conference to actually address the challenge.
