Chief Medical Officers, physician executives, health technology founders, and healthcare system leaders — a private collective convened to shape the future of medicine from the rooms where it is actually decided.
Inquire About Membership →Transformative change in healthcare begins at a particular intersection — where deep clinical expertise meets the gravity of executive decision-making. Strategy is set, capital is committed, and the future of care is shaped at that junction.
The CMO Collective is the room for that conversation. An invitation-only peer network, founded to accelerate the exchange of ideas, the formation of strategic alliances, and the collective impact of those who lead medicine from the top.
We are not a conference, a vendor, or a publication. We are a small, durable society of practitioners — sustained by curated digital infrastructure and three deliberately intimate convenings each year, where members speak with a candor that their roles, in public, do not permit.
Institutions shaping the practice, the policy, and the technology of medicine.
Whatever challenge I'm facing in healthcare, the Collective has a conversation already happening that brings clarity and balance. The cross-functional expertise — operators, clinicians, capital, policy — focused on the issues that actually matter is invaluable.
This is a trusted space to seek guidance from fellow physician executives who have faced the same hurdles. The diversity of perspective — spanning roles and industries — pushes me to think differently, and often reveals strategies I would not have found alone.
There is nowhere else like it. The connections I've made have genuinely changed my approach to leadership — insights and solutions to complex healthcare challenges that I simply couldn't find anywhere else. The depth of thought leadership among peers is unparalleled.
The room is small enough that every voice matters, and serious enough that every conversation moves something. I leave each convening with at least one decision materially changed by what I heard.
A purpose-built, member-only platform for asynchronous exchange between gatherings — engineered for the cadence of executive life.
Topic rooms organized around the issues members actually face — clinical AI adoption, workforce strategy, value-based contracting, board dynamics.
A weekly intelligence digest curated by the council — signal pulled from noise, with member commentary on what it means.
Standing one-to-one introductions and peer consults brokered through the platform — privately, on members' own time.
Three deliberately small gatherings each year, designed to create the conditions for the conversations members cannot have anywhere else.
Two days of structured dialogue on the year's most consequential question — invited briefings, member-led sessions, no press.
An unhurried weekend for members and one guest — meals, walks, and long conversation away from any institutional pressure.
A single evening in a single city, hosted by a member, anchored by a single thesis — small enough that everyone speaks.
Our gatherings are hosted in places that make the conversation possible — small enough to be intimate, removed enough to be honest, designed enough to be unhurried.
Every convening operates under Chatham House. No press, no recordings, no panels with five voices and one microphone. Just the members in the room, a single thesis, and the time to take it seriously.
A small standing council of founding members — physician executives whose judgment shapes both the membership and the year's intellectual agenda. The council rotates by design. Stewardship, not seniority, is the standard.
Membership is by referral and review. New seats open as the council deems appropriate — typically no more than five to seven each year — and are filled in conversation with the existing roster.
If you believe your work places you within the constituencies we convene, we welcome your inquiry. A member of the council will reply personally, in writing, within fourteen days.
