Leadership and Professional Development

Catalog description

Leadership is a critical piece of the student experience for the Master of Healthcare Leadership (MHL). Designed as an integrated application, it spans the length of the program and is woven into the fabric of the other courses. In both residential and online settings, students will engage in discussions, reflections, lectures, simulations and experiential activities focused on their professional development as leaders. Students will be consistently challenged to apply the leadership theory and practice they are exploring in the program to their MHL team and personal work environment. They will also have opportunities to establish professional development goals and receive support from peers and faculty relative to those aspirations. By the end of the course, students should have improved their leadership skills and be confident in their ability to assume greater levels of responsibility.
