The American Association for Physician Leadership announced the CEO of Scotland County Hospital, Randy Tobler, MD, FACOG, CPE, has earned the prestigious Certified Physician Executive (CPE) credential. The CPE designation indicates a physician has achieved superior levels of professional excellence and management education while also demonstrating effective health care industry knowledge and leadership skills.

“Physician leadership training is a relatively new niche, until recently,” said Dr. Randy Tobler. “The tumultuous healthcare landscape requires physician leaders who can integrate clinical experience with leadership skills in building teams that embrace the challenges and opportunities presented by the transformational healthcare environment. And as an OB/GYN in practice for many years, I’ve been trained to respond and problem solve in an instant; unpredictability is life to an obstetrics physician. This certification provides a great way for me to link clinical knowledge, experience and comfort with the uncertain & unstable healthcare industry. These skills, coupled with leadership skills help guide the hospital and clinics staff to provide high quality, safe, patient-centered care. Importantly, the CPE training has reinforced my fundamental leadership principle-that organizations can prosper and serve their patients best when leaders inspire team members to individually and departmentally reach their fullest potential.”

The CPE designation is the industry benchmark for organizations and executive recruiters seeking the most accomplished and influential physician leaders. It speaks to the physician’s commitment to improving patient care.

“The contemporary challenges facing health care today — such as variable clinical quality, persistent, high institutional costs in the face of clarifying value, and less than optimal patient experiences — require physician leaders who can interlace clinical knowledge, seasoned leadership skills and superior management acumen,” said Peter Angood, MD, president and CEO of the American Association for Physician Leadership.
