Abstract
At some point in a physician’s career, they will undergo a crisis. The crisis may be from a financial shock, from a sudden change in market forces, or from a natural disaster. In this chapter, we will discuss the fundamentals of managing a crisis. We will focus on specific aspects of leadership which are essential in managing a crisis and will use Hurricane Katrina as an example.
