Course summary
Clinicians are viewed as credible leaders, whether they feel so themselves or not. Indeed, many healthcare workers take on important leadership responsibilities throughout their career, managing large teams and complex organisations. However, leadership and management skills are not acquired during clinical undergraduate training. The clinician is never taught how to step away from the physician-patient relationship and examine problems at a systems level. Course overview This course, designed in partnership with iheed, and delivered by world-leading medical leaders, comprehensively closes the gap in clinician leadership competency. Whether you are a clinician seeking to move away from direct care or a senior administrator looking to take up a managerial role in a healthcare setting, this online Master of Healthcare Leadership is designed to give learners a broad, interdisciplinary perspective on the changing face of healthcare. The course provides a highly engaging, richly informative and convenient educational opportunity for busy professionals and is accessible through a dedicated state-of-the-art online learning environment.
