Description

"In this practical and concise how-to guide for physicians, Fritts describes the most important responsibilities and concerns of clinical department chairs. Fritts begins by explaining how clinical departments are organized. He explores what it means to be a leader or manager, and how to deal with the many conflicting goals of clinical departments. He discusses projects and planning; committees and democracy; managing money; departmental quality and departmental reviews; and legal issues. Throughout, Fritts draws on the wisdom of ideas and thinkers ranging from Peter Drucker to René Descartes, from W. Edwards Deming's "total quality management" to Machiavelli's The Prince. This book will be of interest to medical department faculty, physicians, and medical students."--JHU Press
