Chief Physician Executive (CPE) Forum (Chief Medical Officer Forum): 2025 THMA Healthcare Conference

Engage Directly with Health System Chief Physician Executives & Chief Medical Officers

The Health Management Academy’s Chief Physician Executive Forum is your chance to connect with health system Chief Physician Executives and Chief Medical Officers who play a pivotal role in health system decision-making across finance, strategy, operations, & system-wide growth.

THMA’s CPE Forum gathers twice each year—once in the Spring and once in the Fall—for an immersive, retreat-style event. The CPE Forum is opening space for additional industry members in 2025. We are seeking a limited number of industry members that can bring important thought leadership and ideas to drive health forward as members attending this exclusive event.

The Chief Physician Executive Forum Experience

The CPE Forum is a trusted, member-led community for physician executives shaping clinical and organizational performance across Leading Health Systems. Each 2.5-day convening explores the CPE’s evolving role as a system integrator, population health strategist, and transformation catalyst. While the Fall 2025 agenda is still in development, early session planning reflects the most urgent conversations happening across our member organizations.

Upcoming topics include:

Navigating Policy Shifts and Financial Risk: Members will explore how physician executives are addressing M&A volatility, Medicaid reforms, and site-neutral payment pressures—all while maintaining high-quality care and clinician alignment.

Designing for Clinical Performance at Scale: A spotlight session will feature how systems like Intermountain Health are aligning clinical and operational structures to drive outcomes, accountability, and system-wide agility.

Operationalizing Equity in the Post-Big Beautiful Era: Building on the national momentum around health equity, members will examine how to embed equity into clinical strategy—translating mission into measurable performance.

Strategic Insights from D.C. and The Academy Advisors: Ongoing policy briefings and academic research updates from The Academy Advisors will provide members with the latest implications for enterprise clinical leadership.
