From Stethoscope to Boardroom: Chief Medical Officer Decoded
From Stethoscope to Boardroom is a bold and timely guide for physicians preparing to lead at the highest levels of health care.
Written by Dr. Bela Nand, chief medical officer of AdventHealth hospital, this book delivers the strategic insight and practical tools physicians need to step into-and succeed in-the demanding and influential role of chief medical officer (CMO).
With more than two decades of frontline leadership experience, Dr. Nand fills a critical gap in the medical leadership canon: a clear, actionable framework for understanding the CMO's mindset, skill set, and measurable impact. She defines the CMO as a vital bridge between clinical excellence and administrative strategy, serving not only as a voice for physicians but also as a driver of systems that prioritize quality, safety, and operational alignment.
Designed for aspiring CMOs, newly appointed physician leaders, and health care systems looking to strengthen their executive bench, this book offers more than personal perspective. Dr. Nand integrates insights from across the C-suite to give readers a 360-degree view of what physician leadership looks like at the executive level. She also speaks candidly to women in medicine, addressing the challenges and opportunities of leading authentically in executive environments.
Visionary yet practical, From Stethoscope to Boardroom is essential reading for any physician ready to lead transformative change, not just within their department or hospital but across the health care system. In this first-of-its-kind handbook, Dr. Nand decodes the chief medical officer role with precision and provides both a road map and an invitation to redefine what physician leadership can be.
