Anthony Peter Weiss, MD, MBA, MSc, is a physician leader, educator, and systems thinker whose work bridges neuroscience, ethics, and organizational transformation. He serves as Chief Medical Officer at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and as Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He is also Deputy Editor of The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety, a leading forum for advancing healthcare improvement.

Trained at Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Weiss is double board–certified in psychiatry and neuropsychiatry. He also holds an MBA from Babson College and has spent more than a decade as a senior executive in academic medicine. His perspective bridges clinical neuroscience, systems leadership, and ethics- drawing on both scientific insight and organizational experience to explore how institutions learn, adapt, and care.

At Harvard, he teaches and mentors clinicians and executives in applying these ideas to the design of learning organizations - linking neuroscience, ethics, and management to reimagine how institutions think, decide, and care. He also mentors fellows, residents, and graduate students across bioethics and healthcare management programs, fostering reflective leadership and systems-level thinking among emerging professionals. Across these roles, he views mentorship as a central mechanism of organizational learning—an opportunity to translate abstract principles into human growth and institutional renewal.

Today, his research and leadership integrate data-driven insight with a commitment to human dignity, exploring how principles of adaptation, regulation, and meaning can guide the evolution of safer, more responsive systems of care. His writing and forthcoming projects extend this work into a broader inquiry: how an understanding of the mind can help us lead with integrity and humanity in an age shaped by technology and complexity.
