Bon Secours Medical Group Physicians Accepted into Leadership Institute
Suffolk, Va. (July 27, 2010) Bon Secours Virginia Health System is pleased to announce that two physicians with the Bon Secours Medical Group serving the Hampton Roads community, Dr. Ian “Phillip” Snider, RD, DO and Alison Christian-Taylor, MD have been accepted into the Claude Moore Physician Leadership Institute.
The Medical Society of Virginia Foundation (MSVF), through a five-year grant from the Claude Moore Charitable Foundation and with support from HCA Virginia, established the Claude Moore Physician Leadership Institute in 2006. This yearlong program is one of only a handful in the nation that is devoted to providing physicians with formal, ongoing leadership training. The goal of the Institute is to produce a network of physician leaders who work individually and together to effectively advance health and health care in Virginia.
The Institute is a twelve-month program that begins in September and concludes with a graduation reception the following September. The Institute offers practical leadership training conducted by respected local, state, and national speakers on a variety of leadership topics, complemented by learning experiences which take advantage of national and state training opportunities, and local experts that guide participants through focused learning efforts. The Institute is a participatory continuing education experience and requires each participant’s commitment to actively contribute, both receiving and producing content on physician leadership. Once a participant completes the Institute, an Alumni Program sustains graduates to provide and facilitate ongoing support for physician leaders as they address real-world leadership challenges.
Ian “Phillip” Snider, RD, DO is board certified in both family medicine and osteopathic manipulation work with Bon Secours Medical Associates in the Hampton Roads community. He started his medical career as a non-traditional medical school applicant after working as a dietitian and running a personal training business for eight years. He is now an active member of the Bon Secours Leadership Council and is a co-chair of Bon Secours’ Leadership Development Committee. Dr. Snider is currently developing the Bon Secours Metabolic Program, serving as the program’s medical director. He is also the medical director of InMotion Physical Therapy at Virginia Beach and an adjunct assistant professor for the Department of Biochemistry at Midwestern University in Arizona. He received his doctorate of osteopathic medicine from Midwestern University, his master’s of science from the University of North Carolina Greensboro, and his bachelor’s from North Carolina State University.
Alison Christian-Taylor, MD is an attending physician at Western Branch Family Practice in Chesapeake. She recently received designation as a Lead Physician of the Clinical Council for Bon Secours Medical Group Hampton Roads.
