The NCMS Kanof Institute for Physician Leaders presents the Academy of Future Healthcare Leaders, the Academy of Advanced Healthcare Leaders, and the Academy of Executive Healthcare Leaders. We are excited to announce that all three programs are currently accepting applications for 2025.

Each program provides a unique leadership journey that is tailored to meet the needs of healthcare professionals at various stages in their careers.

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 below) 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.
