The CMO Group, LLC is a physician-led leadership, education, and advisory firm dedicated to developing the next generation of healthcare physician executives. The organization combines clinical experience, executive insight, and modern learning design to help physician leaders thrive in complex systems of care. Through a network of educators, advisors, and industry partners, we transform the skills that define great clinicians into the judgment, influence, and strategic perspective that define great leaders.

Within The CMO Group, The Chief Medical Outlook delivers personalized executive coaching, strategic advisory, and talent representation services for physician leaders navigating today’s complex systems of healthcare. Its media division, The Fire Chief Podcast, the ONLY podcast dedicated to the role of the Chief Medical Officer, extends that mission through thought-leadership conversations that inspire, educate, and connect the broader healthcare and physician leader community. Together, these platforms are transforming the physician executive leadership space.

Founded by Lee Scheinbart, MD, a seasoned physician executive and leadership educator, the firm began with a simple idea: that the same precision, excellence and empathy that make great clinicians can also make extraordinary physician leaders in healthcare. The CMO Group helps medical professionals translate experience at the bedside into influence at the boardroom table—building a community of leaders ready to guide the next era of healthcare.

One of the additional ways that The Chief Medical Outlook Group diversifies and connects with healthcare is to participate in health tech. Lee Scheinbart, MD, has advised both informally and formally several companies trying to improve software, tech, and AI in areas such as consultative medicine, medical education, care navigation, and most recently supporting the startup of a digestive health app. Lee was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease while in medical school and is particularly interested in supporting this new venture.
