Each year, ACDIS is proud to bring together a small group of peers dedicated to brainstorming ideas and problem-solving challenges through an initiative known as the ACDIS Physician Advisor Mastermind. This group meets virtually every other month to discuss issues that are relevant to physician advisors and the challenges they face in their role.
Launched in February 2021, this tightknit circle of eight to 10 handpicked physician advisors commit to advancing concrete goals and helping their peers do the same. Each meeting is facilitated by an ACDIS editorial team member in collaboration with two Mastermind members in the "hot seat" to kick off the discussion at hand.
There’s no fee to join. Instead, members are selected based on their commitment to participate in regular meetings, share and receive advice generously, and make meaningful progress in their careers.
