CCPL2026: Redefining Leadership through
Courage and Kindness
Join us in Montreal on May 15–16, 2026 (pre-conference courses May 13–14) for the Canadian Conference on Physician Leadership, where we’ll explore how courage and kindness can transform the way we lead in healthcare. Courage empowers leaders to confront uncomfortable truths, challenge the status quo, and make bold decisions, while kindness ensures leadership remains human-centered, inclusive, and compassionate.
This year, we’ll examine how these essential leadership qualities intersect with the Canadian Society of Physician Leaders’ four strategic pillars:
Optimizing Health Human Resources: Developing resilient, capable and supported physician leaders.
Aligning Social Accountability: Promoting equity, diversity, inclusion and reconciliation while fostering psychological safety to ensure healthcare meets the needs of all communities.
Addressing Planetary Health: Tackling environmental and sustainability challenges that affect health and healthcare, including climate change, its impact on human health and strategies for meaningful action within the healthcare system.
Rebuilding the System Transformation: Driving innovation, collaboration, and change through quality improvement, system design and effective leadership across healthcare organizations.
Attendees can look forward to inspiring keynote speakers, hands-on workshops, and opportunities to connect with physician leaders from across the country, all while gaining practical strategies and fresh perspectives to lead with courage and kindness.
We look forward to welcoming you to Montreal and exploring how these qualities can redefine what’s possible in healthcare leadership.
