Healthcare has evolved into a complex industry and needs more leaders than ever before. Healthcare systems are composed of multiple professional groups, departments, and sub-specialties with complex, non-sequential interactions between them; the intricacy of such systems is often unparalleled as a result of constraints pertaining to diverse diseases, multidirectional goals, and multidisciplinary staff.
Healthcare leaders of today need to be proficient in economics, patient satisfaction, healthcare policy, information management systems, marketing, ethics, and medicolegal issues, interdisciplinary collaboration, telemedicine, technological change, and above all emotional intelligence to facilitate evidence-based and patient-centered care.

This program will help you gain valuable skills and competencies for effective and efficient management and executive healthcare leadership.
