From Bedside to Boardroom: Redefining the Clinician’s Path to Leadership

Leadership Rx is a practical roadmap for healthcare professionals ready to move beyond the bedside and into leadership roles. Written by a clinician-turned-executive, Dr. Liz Kwo, the book bridges the gap between medical practice and organizational leadership—helping readers navigate this transition with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Through real-world examples, actionable frameworks, and reflective guidance, this book explores how to build the skills, mindset, and resilience required to lead effectively in an evolving healthcare landscape. Readers will learn to think strategically, communicate with influence, and align personal purpose with professional ambition.

Key topics include:

• Career pathways into leadership across health systems, payers, startups, life sciences, and policy
• Essential executive skills in strategy, finance, governance, and digital health
• Systems thinking and team leadership for managing complexity and driving results
• Navigating challenges such as burnout, imposter syndrome, and gender equity
• The future of leadership in an era defined by data, technology, and value-based care

Ideal for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals, this book speaks to anyone pursuing or preparing for executive roles in healthcare organizations, industry, or innovation sectors.

Unlike traditional career guides, Leadership Rx goes beyond business mechanics to address the human side of leadership: identity, balance, and purpose. It offers both a how-to and a why-to for clinicians seeking to transform not only their careers, but the future of healthcare itself.
