See Janet Ratziu's reference in note to Asker above.
In it: "For each participating practice, the lead physician, study coordinator, Practice Signatory Official (as designated by the practice), and the study PI sign a Practice Agreement."
That seems to me to imply that "lead physician" is indeed "team leader", "coordinator" of the project. And not a "leading physician", which of course means something else.

RIGHT...

In the US/Canada? they say "LEAD Physician..

Collaborative Mental Health Care Network:
The CMHCN had been funded as a pilot project. The program has been so successful that
the MOHLTC has elevated it to program status. It is now funded in same way that other
hospital and community-based programs receive permanent funding. We are grateful to
the CMHCN’s lead physician, Dr. Pat Rockman and our Director of Research & CME,
Lena Salach for their hard work that will ensure the ongoing success of this program.
