Healthcare Leadership & Management is organized by Institute for International Medicine (INMED).

Course Opens: February 01, 2024
Course Expires: February 01, 2027

Description:
Global health systems are under tremendous pressure worldwide.  Pandemics, the brain drain of health professionals from resource-limited countries, and unprecedented financial constraints are just a few issues that drive the need for constant change. Leadership by professionals with skills in administration, communication, clinical care and public health are vital to a healthy future. This course will provide several frameworks for understanding and approaching change. It will introduce tools to use in implementing sustainable and evidence-based organizational change in resource-rich and resource-limited situations. Focused study will include reading, discussion, application exercises and professional reflective writing.

Learning Objectives:
At the completion of the Healthcare Leadership and Management Course, learners will be able to demonstrate using case-studies, active discussion, and reflective writing:
• Application of effective change principles to the movement of people and processes toward a new vision.
• Demonstrate understanding of the differences in global health work in resource-limited settings and the individual patient centered models of care used in many resource-rich locations.
• Acquisition of new partnership and collaboration skills necessary for bringing about lasting global health changes in resource-limited settings.
