Transformational Healthcare Resilience & Integrity through

Virtue-based Excellence

(THRIVE) Workshop

and

Phronesis Forum 

Almaty, Kazakhstan

Helping medical professionals thrive...

The medical profession demands more than clinical expertise—it requires leaders who can navigate complex ethical dilemmas, manage high-stakes conversations, and sustain their own wellbeing amid relentless pressure. Yet most medical training focuses exclusively on technical competence while leaving physicians unprepared for the leadership challenges they face daily. The International Phronesis Institute fills this critical gap by developing your Professional Intelligence—the holistic integration of your heart, soul, mind and strength through self-awareness, social skills, situational judgment, and practical wisdom that distinguishes physicians who merely survive from those who truly thrive.

Why it matters...

In an era when healthcare organizations and systems face unprecedented pressures, the physicians who will shape the future are those who lead with both competence and character, bringing technical skill and true wisdom to every decision, every conversation, and every patient encounter. This isn't theoretical knowledge—it's a practical framework that will transform how you lead yourself and others as you fulfill your calling in medicine.​  

To this end, the International Phronesis Institute, in partnership with Global SourceNET, is excited to be hosting two events in April 2026: THRIVE Workshop and Phronesis Forum.
