Yet relatively few fill the most senior management positions within the health care system. In «Lessons Learned: Stories from Women in Medical Management,» editor and author, Deborah Shlian, MD, MBA, profiles 24exceptional female physicians who have defied the odds. They share their personal and compelling stories— including obstacles and challenges faced in balancing work, family and personal life—as their career paths take them from clinical medicine to leadership within government, academia, hospitals, provider groups, managed care, pharma, consulting and entrepreneurial venture. The lessons they learned are not only relevant to women and not just applicable to health care—they are universal.
