About the Kanof Institute for Physician Leadership
Since 2003, the NC Medical Society Foundation has recognized the importance of leadership among clinicians. The Institute’s foundational belief is that clinicians, heading collaborative teams, are best suited to lead clinical transformation that achieves true patient-centered care. Clinicians possess the key clinical knowledge and skills needed to guide and lead these important changes.
Since the launch of Leadership College in 2003 and the Kanof Institute for Physician Leadership (KIPL) founded by Dr Elizabeth Kanof and Dr. Michael Brennan (pictured at right) in 2012, KIPL encompasses a statewide network of more than 900 clinician and healthcare leaders who have successfully completed professional development coursework through one of the programs offered through the Institute. These alumni have successfully applied and implemented their personal and professional leadership roles in the emerging health care system.
