Benjamin R. Reynolds, MSPAS, PA-C, DFAAPA
Chief Advanced Practice Officer, UPMC Office of Advanced Practice Providers, Pittsburgh, PA
“A key competency to be successful in my view is understanding what your value as a clinician leader is to your organization. Understanding how your leadership envisions your role to create the right successes is key and will set you apart. Clinician leaders possess a key attribute that non-clinician leaders lack: a knowledge of how to practice medicine. A good clinician leader is able to understand the administrative, managerial, and business side of their work, then harmonize it with the clinical care delivery realities of practice.”

Director, Advanced Practice Providers, Medical College Physicians, Milwaukee, WI
“APP leadership is not for the faint of heart. In my view, the phenotypic APP leader is an experienced clinician with the emotional intelligence and inner personal skills needed to form successful partnerships with key department, medical, nursing, and affiliate leaders. While there remain multiple barriers in healthcare that limit APP practice including federal, state, and organizational bylaws – the lack of a supportive APP leader should not be one of them.”
