Education and leadership

Physician Leadership Institute (PLI) Medical students, residents and practising physicians are supported with life-long learning opportunities from Joule’s Physician Leadership Institute. At Joule, we recognize physicians are leaders in health care. Learn today to lead tomorrow.

When you enrol in a PLI course, you can be confident that:

Course content and examples will be practical and relevant to health care and medical practice in Canada. Instructors are subject-matter and education experts with an intimate knowledge of Canada’s healthcare environment. Learning approaches incorporate multiple perspectives, include real-life, real-time activities and promote rich problem-solving among peers. Classmates are health-care professionals with interests and needs similar to your own.

Canadian Certified Physician Executive (CCPE) Physicians are encouraged to consider accreditation through the Canadian Certified Physician Executive (CCPE) credential program, developed by the CMA and the Canadian Society of Physician Executives. The CCPE is the first nationally recognized, standards-based peer assessment for physicians in leadership roles. Based on the CMA’s Physician Leadership Competency Framework, the credential affirms that individual physicians who seek leadership or executive-type roles have demonstrated the knowledge and skills needed for successful performance.

Practice Enhancement Program The Practice Enhancement Program (PEP), jointly funded by Saskatchewan Health, the SMA and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan, offers Saskatchewan’s physicians a positive means of assessing their medical practices. The assessment process is one of medical peer review that looks at a physician’s office facilities, procedures and medical records to determine the quality of care being provided by that physician. As assessments are completed and specific needs for enhancement are observed, PEP recommends educational and remedial resources to improve skills in specific areas.
