Physician Leadership

Doctors Nova Scotia offers a variety of physician leadership opportunities.  

The Section of Physician Leaders (SPL) is a great place to start if you’re looking to connect with other physician leaders, learn from your peers and explore leadership development. The next meeting dates are: Jan. 25, March 1 and May 3, 2027. Watch your inbox for registration details.  

Developed specifically to meet the needs of Nova Scotia’s physicians, the Physician Leadership Development Program (PLDP) provides the training you need to lead people and teams effectively, with agility and confidence, in a challenging environment. 

The PLDP typically runs from September to May and includes: 

  • an orientation session
  • six in-person leadership training modules 
  • six, one-hour individual coaching sessions over the course of the program 
  • four group coaching sessions over the course of the program 
  • CPD credits 
  • a leadership certificate

Doctors Nova Scotia is exploring other leadership development opportunities for physicians, including opportunities to connect, learn and build leadership skills. More information will be shared as these opportunities take shape.
