About this Course
Due to the rapidly evolving and complex nature of healthcare organizations, it’s crucial that they’re run effectively to positively influence how patients receive medical care. To be successful in this industry, healthcare professionals need to develop their leadership capacity and ability to adapt, respond to, and lead change.

Over eight weeks, you’ll use practical tools to identify growth areas in healthcare systems and gain the ability to lead healthcare change initiatives. Guided by experts, you’ll develop effective strategies to maximize team performance, and discover how to harness the power of vulnerability to build trust and collaboration.
Throughout the course, you’ll engage with various systems improvement frameworks, learn to effectively manage and overcome a crisis, and improve your ability to make leadership decisions in high-pressure situations. Finally, you’ll explore the power of storytelling to achieve the full potential of yourself, your teams and your organization, and create an impactful narrative for change.
