AAPL brings customized knowledge to us that we don’t have readily accessible, and helps us be more than we are, and better than we are. It makes us better-rounded leaders and helps us to better serve our teams and lead them into tomorrow’s ever-changing healthcare world. This has been one of the best decisions that I have made.

All Leaders Welcome.
That Means You.
It is one of our core beliefs that all physicians are leaders—in communities both medical and non—regardless of whether they currently hold formal leadership titles. In keeping with that principle, any physician interested in achieving their leadership potential is eligible for AAPL Membership.
