How to Become a CMO with Dr. Sunil Madan The Limitless MD

There's no direct path to becoming a hospital's CMO (Chief Medical Officer). However, you certainly need to have an affinity for learning. Besides incorporating the knots and bolts of the business, you need to find a mentor who can guide you through every step of the process. Furthermore, focusing on the execution of projects rather than perfecting them is crucial for this position. But don't take it from me. Today's guest will explain what it looks like for doctors to get into a hospital's leadership.
Dr. Sunil Madan is the real deal. He's been an acclaimed and reputable ER doctor in Maryland. At the present time, Sunil is the Chief Medical Officer at Luminis Health. Moreover, he's an entrepreneur at heart. As well as starting clinics and venture capital companies, he has explored artificial intelligence and digital assistance. 
These are some of the topics we cover during the episode:   

- First steps for becoming a CMO
- The transition from manager to leader
- Dealing with the criticism from MDs to CMOs 
- Advice for doctors who want to explore new opportunities
- Why some hospitals choose inside CMOs, and others don't
You don't necessarily have to have an MBA to be a CMO. However, you need to acquire some sort of leadership training. You would also benefit from having a deep understanding of finance, business, and management. If this is a path you are considering, don't hesitate to contact Sunil or me for further guidance. You got this. Be phenomenal.
