Abstract
Physician leaders play a crucial role in the development of not-for-profit and academic health care systems and educational institutions, and any physician or health professional aspiring to a top leadership role in either setting must be familiar with fundraising processes as well as be ready to provide leadership and direction. In fact, applicants for dean or CEO positions frequently are asked about their experience and willingness to engage in fundraising. Those who already have reached leadership roles within health organizations often have participated in some form of development activity, either being solicited by or doing the soliciting for charitable organizations. Physicians, even those in leadership positions, tend to be reluctant to ask for money, especially with grateful patients. They sometimes believe such actions interfere with the physician-patient relationship. Institutional advancement and fundraising are essential functions of physician leaders in the academic and not-for-profit world. Their efforts in this important leadership area are essential for an organization to meet its aspirational and transformative goals.
