This summer 2025 issue of the Canadian Journal of Physician Leadership (CJPL) continues the tradition of highlighting the Canadian Society of Physician Leaders’ annual conference by publishing summaries and more from its May 2025 conference as well as photographs from it. This issue also continues with regular as well as specialized articles, including those in theme sections.

The health economics article leverages previous articles on this theme to continue to provide much needed information on this important area of health leadership. This issue also includes articles on artificial intelligence (AI) related to health leadership matters. As part of that, a conference proceeding as well as a book review are included. AI is expanding rapidly in relation to health leadership. In addition to its emerging and expected benefits, its challenges have to be addressed, such as those related to its impact on medical work scope. CJPL will continue to highlight these challenges and related opportunities, academically and practically, and initiate a health informatics section by 2026. Input on CJPL’s content, process, style, and format is welcome. Feel free to share your comments and ideas with me and/or any of the CJPL team members. Your readership is much appreciated.
