Overview
Now, more than ever, we are committed to supporting professionalism in healthcare.
What does an organization do when individual or group behaviors undermine the best attempts to create a safe, respectful, and reliable environment? You need a plan and the right people, processes, and systems. The Vanderbilt Health Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy (CPPA) has conducted more than 20 years of research to help medical centers and physician groups make healthcare kinder, safer, and more reliable. Our internationally acclaimed faculty have years of experience in healthcare leadership and professional accountability. Promoting Professionalism provides practical tactics for attendees who wish to implement these tools in their own organizations.
This event also qualifies for CME and NCPD Credit. For more details, review the FAQs below.
