Thank you for attending Fall Institute!

More than 350 physicians came together for the American Association for Physician Leadership’s Fall Institute in Scottsdale, Arizona on October 24-26. The Institute began with an inspiring keynote address, a first of its kind session on networking skills, and multiple extended sessions dedicated to health law, managing physician performance, resolving conflict, and value-based care.

Thank you, Fall Institute attendees! We hope that you found your experience insightful and valuable. We will see you in the Spring for the 2025 Annual Leadership Conference in Boston, April 25-27, 2025.

For over 45 years.

The American Association for Physician Leadership has helped physicians develop their leadership skills through education, career development, thought leadership and community building.

The American Association for Physician Leadership (AAPL) changed its name from the American College of Physician Executives (ACPE) in 2014. We may have changed our name, but we are the same organization that has been serving physician leaders since 1975.
