Susan Reynolds, MD, PhDSusan Reynolds, MD, PhD
President and CEO

Dr. Reynolds is a nationally recognized keynote speaker, leadership development expert, and executive coach. She has shared her unique approach to today’s leadership and management challenges with Fortune 500 companies, major health care organizations, and national and state medical associations.

A former emergency physician and CEO of an emergency medical center, she created the Physician Leadership Training Institute for the American Medical Association. Prior to founding The Institute for Medical Leadership, Dr. Reynolds served on the White House Health Professionals Review Group from 1993 to 1994, as one of its few practicing physician members. During this appointment she was very much aware that physicians were not in the lead in the national health care reform debate. When subsequently recruited to develop and lead the Physician Executive Practices at Heidrick & Struggles and Russell Reynolds Associates, two highly respected international search firms, she decided to study what makes an effective leader and teach what she learned to physicians and healthcare executives. In so doing, she seeks to increase patient centered leadership that brings about much needed healthcare reform in local institutions and at the national level.
