Methods

The budding physician champion will need methods to help physicians self-discover, renew motivation, and re-energize. He or she should be able to develop CME (continuing medical education) programs, practice meditation and prayer, become comfortable with public prayer, and learn methods of formative reading (in contrast to informative reading.) There will be calls to create presentations and speeches for larger groups. Some personal skills warrant development, too. Among them are journaling, fasting, and intercessory prayers. Skill acquisition takes time and confirms that identifying your successor is the first priority task for a new physician champion.
