3. Assist physician leaders with finding ways to influence health care policy

Vanguard members--physician executives with advanced management degrees, and those who earned certification--also asked for more networking events at ACPE meetings, more opportunities to hear from speakers outside of health care, and more contact with recruiters.

ACPE staff is working on ways to carry out these suggestions and welcome input from all our members.
