All Academy participants are responsible for having at least one session with their coach.

MEDITATION TRAINING/PRACTICE
Leaders lead best when they have personal practices. Personal practice is an ongoing, consistent behavior that provides space for reflection. This could mean many things, such as journaling, walking, physical exercise, etc. At PLA, meditation is taught, and an ongoing practice occurs throughout the 10-month training.

ACADEMY EVALUATION ACTIVITIES
The Physicians Leadership Academy is being evaluated for purposes of program improvement and individual satisfaction.
