Healthcare Leadership Program for Executives

As a healthcare executive, your role is pivotal yet fraught with demands that can strain even the most seasoned leader. The stakes are immense and the rewards profound, but the path is complex. Bridging the gap between medical and business acumen requires the integration of leadership skills, financial acumen, and strategic thinking. By enhancing these skills, you not only position yourself to address the challenges of today but also pave the way to advance your career as a healthcare executive. You will be prepared to innovate business models, improve your strategic decision making, boost team performance, and manage multiple stakeholders. In essence, you empower yourself to lead the healthcare evolution with vision, agility, and a focus on patient-centric excellence.

This empowerment is critical, as the challenges healthcare faces today are significant, requiring an evolved skill set. Increased costs, outdated technology, high staff turnover, and operational gaps are some of the challenges that healthcare executives need to overcome. Revamping business operations directly impacts the effectiveness of providing healthcare and keeps the focus fixed on the ultimate beneficiary: the patient.

Designed by Emory Healthcare leaders in conjunction with Goizueta Business School faculty and Emory Executive Education, the Healthcare Leadership Program for Executives is tailored to the challenges faced by leaders like you by equipping you with the business skills for succeeding in the evolving healthcare landscape. Over 9 to 12 months, you will leverage the school's vast healthcare network to transform your approach toward challenges and elevate your leadership.

Through application-based learning, a diverse cohort of like-minded executives, and guidance by experts at the forefront of healthcare, you will emerge as a visionary leader. Empowered with refined business acumen, you will be uniquely positioned to drive efficiency, enhance patient care, and lead your organization with agility and purpose in an era of unprecedented change.

This program will help you:

• Instill a shared vision that aligns the unique needs of healthcare management with strategic business goals

As part of your capstone project, you will identify a challenge faced by you or your organization. As you proceed through the program, continually reflect on how the strategies and tools you have learned can apply to formulating a solution. The capstone will be a presentation describing the problem, the solution you have devised, and the strategies and tools from the program that were most helpful. As you engage with the project, you will simultaneously help integrate what you've learned in the program into your day-to-day life and make a meaningful difference to your organization.
