Doctors in management or the revenge of the conquered: The role of management development for doctors

Abstract

Takes a historical perspective on the role of doctors in management, using this approach as a way of describing the current situation and the problems inherent in doctors as managers without appropriate training. Describes the changes occurring in the attitudes of doctors following participation in management training programmes and the importance of encouraging doctors to continue to participate in such programmes designed specifically for their needs.
