WASHINGTON, DC – July 25, 2025 – The American Association for Physician Leadership (AAPL) is proud to announce the release of a new book, Communication Skills, Executive Leadership, and Career Growth for Physicians by Neil Baum, MD. This book serves as a roadmap for healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their leadership abilities, communication skills, and career trajectories in today’s ever-evolving healthcare environment.
