As a physician executive working for WellPoint, I am not only asked to draw on my clinical knowledge, but also on my business and organizational knowledge, to improve the health care of our members. Our physician executives are integrated into the business with key roles in major initiatives. Physicians also serve on various cross-functional teams with nurses, lawyers, actuaries, pharmacists and other key business leaders. Within the department, there is a culture of growth, mentorship, execution and teamwork which allows for a very effective and nurturing working environment. There is constant learning and growth from the work that we do and from the people that we work with across the company.
