The new 9- to 12-month executive program helps healthcare leaders strike a balance between achieving business efficiencies and the more human aspects of healthcare to enable their organizations to thrive in a complex healthcare ecosystem.
ATLANTA, GA. — Emory Executive Education, part of Emory University’s top-ranked Goizueta Business School, has created the Executive Program for Healthcare Leaders to empower clinical and nonclinical leaders with the capabilities to reimagine business models and transform healthcare challenges into opportunities. The program is being delivered in partnership with Emeritus, the global leader in making world-class professional education accessible and affordable, and enrollment is now open for a December 2023 start.
The challenges of healthcare executives go beyond just the clinical aspect of healthcare. Issues such as staffing, quality challenges, financial limitations, and the after-effects of the pandemic also demand attention and strategic intervention. In addressing these challenges, healthcare leaders must incorporate operational excellence to drive change and accelerate their careers. Business acumen, along with influential communication skills and the right leadership approach, are crucial for success.
The program’s self-paced, flexible curriculum explores healthcare leadership strategies through in-depth core sessions, topical electives, and experiential activities. Participants will join a diverse cohort, providing the chance to engage with a broad mix of peers from across healthcare functions, including pharmaceutical and medical technology organizations. In addition, participants will apply the knowledge they have learned to a capstone project that serves as a business plan for solving a real-world healthcare challenge they are facing. The program culminates with a networking and recognition event on Emory University’s Goizueta Business School campus in Atlanta, Georgia. Upon completing the program, participants will be awarded a verified digital certificate from Emory Executive Education.
“Today’s healthcare leaders are expected to effectively juggle the dynamics of a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape and balance economic imperatives with the more human aspects of healthcare. It is necessary for them to think holistically about the challenges they face and situationally lead in ways that resonate with the demands in front of them,” said Michael Sacks, faculty director. “We have designed a comprehensive program that positions participants to excel as healthcare leaders and grow in their leadership capacity to manage the many complex demands that require their attention.”
“Healthcare is fascinating and complex. We continually compete within financial constraints to create innovative cultures that attract the most talented people. Change is the only constant in the equation; leading that change is the most important role within the system for an executive leader,” added Marilyn Margolis, CEO of Emory Johns Creek Hospital. “We take pride in recruiting the greatest minds, encouraging innovation, and cultivating mutual respect in the workplace. In the Executive Program for Healthcare Leaders, we present the art and science of how to succeed in today’s exciting and ever-changing healthcare environment.”
The program is designed and taught by distinguished thought leaders who have a deep understanding of business in healthcare. The program features leaders from Goizueta Business School, Emory School of Medicine, and Emory Healthcare as faculty and guest speakers who share their knowledge of best practices in healthcare management.
“The Executive Program for Healthcare Leaders equips participants with the strategic thinking, financial planning, and leadership capabilities to confidently steer through the complexities of today’s healthcare landscape,” said Ranil Herath, president of Emeritus Healthcare. “We’re honored to partner with Emory Executive Education to offer this immersive learning journey for clinical and nonclinical healthcare executives.”
The program is currently enrolling qualified healthcare executives, hospital administrators, and C-suite and executive committee members. For more information and to apply, please visit the Executive Program for Healthcare Leaders website.
