WSMA Leadership Development Conference
Registration is now available for the 2026 WSMA Leadership Development
Conference, May 15-16 at Campbell’s Resort on Lake Chelan!
About the Conference
For this year’s conference, we will explore our evolving understanding of what it means for physicians and their care teams to lead in today’s environment. Physicians, practitioners, and patients are facing multiple challenges unique to our era, including the politicization of health care, the spread of incorrect or misleading health information, and increasing downstream effects of social drivers of health. The 2026 Leadership Development Conference will feature speakers and presentations that will look at leadership from underexplored angles, including how to show leadership as community health advocates, utilizing communication technologies to platform physician voices and evidence-based information, and embracing opportunities to harness cutting-edge solutions to social drivers of health.
The conference features a weekend of engaging course content, including both general presentations and interactive breakout sessions, delivered and facilitated by experts from across the health care spectrum. With the lakeside resort setting backdrop, family-friendly activities, and an agenda structured with plenty of time for social events and recreational activities, the conference provides an opportunity for physicians, physician assistants, and clinical teams to develop their leadership competencies in a relaxed setting.
This day-and-a-half educational event is for professionals at all leadership levels, from experienced leaders to up-and-comers, from large systems to small practices, rural and urban. Consider bringing your clinical team—the conference is an ideal opportunity for fostering collaboration, communication, and engaged team members. A discounted registration rate is available for WSMA members; non-member pricing is available.
Central to the success of the Leadership Development Conference is the resort's family-friendly, beautiful lakeside setting. The Lake Chelan region in the spring is a wonder to behold, with activities, wineries, and much more to offer for the whole family.
Join your colleagues from across the state for a weekend of education, networking, and recreation. You’ll leave the weekend refreshed, inspired, and equipped with tools and strategies you can put to use immediately in your practice setting.
Speakers and agenda will be announced shortly. This activity has been
approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
