As we emerge from the COVID-19 global pandemic, it is vital that health care providers stay keenly aware of the innovations in teaching and telehealth being implemented around the world. Medical leaders are reporting that their academic and clinical processes are experiencing rapid change and accentuating the crucial need to keep up with the expanding industry. The challenge for us now is to build the structures and culture in our organizations to incorporate these developments and maintain the necessary progression. Our program, Leading Innovations in Health Care and Education, will discuss the application of the most effective theories of change, as well as the construction of a shared language to promote on-going innovation. Register now for this in-person, highly interactive course to develop your leadership skills and foster systemic education and clinical transformation.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the impact external forces can have on health care delivery and education and harness these forces as opportunities for innovation
- Anticipate the disruptive innovations likely to impact health care delivery and intertwined educational programs in the future, including disruptive technologies
- Use design thinking and design processes to identify and meet needs of target populations
- Assess an institution’s structure, processes, culture, and readiness for change
- Identify and develop leadership styles that foster systemic educational and clinical innovation
The program curriculum is designed to assist you in developing your own strategies for leading change within a rapidly evolving health care delivery system. Using classic management studies and models of educational reform, you will analyze the interlocking elements of change strategies and develop guiding principles drawn from organizational research.
Teaching/learning formats include case studies built around small and full group discussions, interactive presentations, and panel discussions. You will meet each day with other leaders from similar institutions to develop action plans for change. The informal exchange of insights and experiences among international participants and faculty drawn from multiple professional disciplines is a vital part of the experience.
