LEADERSHIP
THE PROGRAM
Preparing Physician Leaders for Consumer-Driven Healthcare
The changing health care market challenges physicians, nurses, and administrators to stay on top of best practices. The Department of Health Policy and Management at Tulane University has been helping health system leaders meet this challenge with their Graduate Certificate in Health Care Leadership and Innovation while preparing for a national relaunch of its Master of Medical Management (MMM) program.
The Graduate Certificate in Health Care Leadership and Innovation prepares mid and senior-level leaders in the health care industry for the changing landscape by giving them the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to deliver and design innovative health care services.
Before launching a certificate program with a health system, the Tulane team initiates a detailed inquiry process with senior leaders to assess system-specific opportunities, culture, challenges, and future vision. The Tulane team then incorporates these findings and themes into the program curriculum, a 15-credit hour graduate certificate. The certificate consists of five three-credit courses taken over one year.
The certificate’s courses carry graduate degree credit and can be applied toward a master’s degree. In addition to the monthly on-site sessions, students also participate in distance and worksite experiential activities, along with visiting scholars’ conferences.
Positive Change
The program should focuses on developing positive-change leaders who think “differently.”
INNOVATION SKILLS
The program fosters innovation skills and tools to build a consumer-driven organization with a market-driven strategy.
culture and brand
The program should support the formation of a positive culture and brand experience.
“The response to the certificate program shows there is a real demand for this. It’s indicative of what is happening in the market. These physician and administrative leaders today need a business acumen and relational skill set that they didn’t necessarily get in their professional training,” says Mollye Demosthenidy, clinical associate professor of health policy and management.
