The 2006 Fall Institute returns to Tucson—at two great locations

Physician Executive, July-August, 2006

The College will return to one of our members favorite resort locations--Tucson, Arizona. But, in 2006 we will offer our medical management education programs at two hotels--the Westin La Paloma and the Westward Look Resort. Both of these fine properties are within a few miles of each other. Please see www.acpe.org/fall for information as to which courses will be at each host hotel.

The Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa is nestled up against the Santa Catalina Mountains and close to shopping, dining and the Tucson airport. The La Paloma is also home to a 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, ten championship tennis courts and an Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa.

The Westward Look Resort is home to an amazing variety of birds, plants and wildlife, which makes this lush 80-acre oasis an ideal choice for business or pleasure. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy on-site horseback riding, hiking, birding and swimming, plus golf and mountain biking nearby. Dining is accented with native produce grown in the Chef's Garden and their renowned spa services feature regional desert botanicals.

Both hotels enjoy Tucson's sunny climate and spectacular surroundings, making the area a perfect choice for outdoor recreational activities of all kinds. Local attractions appeal to a variety of interests: science and space technology, historical and cultural heritages, the arts, and much more.

Career Development Programs Enhance ACPE Fall Institutes

Participants at ACPE's 2006 Fall Institutes are able to take advantage of a number of resources that will help advance their careers. Workshops, sample documents, panel presentations and one-on-one counseling sessions will be available for those attending the Tucson program.

* Career Development Workshops will be offered on November 14 to help you develop and implement a career growth plan. Content experts representing the top executive search firms will address topics from networking to interviewing to contract negotiation. Valuable handouts and sample documents will be distributed. The Fall Institutes agendas have been modified to make these workshops available to most participants.

* Also on November 14, ACPE will assemble an Executive Search Panel to share their experiences about successful candidates, hiring bodies and the elements of the recruiting process. You will not want to miss this valuable "insider information." Shuttle buses will transport participants taking courses at the Westward Look to the La Paloma on the 14th.

* Individual career counseling will once again be available during the Institute. Whether you are in the middle of an active job search, wondering if you are doing a good job in your present management position, or thinking about what to do next, contact the College to reserve some time with Barbara Linney, ACPE's Vice President of Career Development.
