This program is intended for established and aspiring leaders, both within and outside the U.S., who are positioned to develop creative solutions to the field’s most complex issues, drive change, succeed in an uncertain health care environment, and reimagine the way to health for all.

As an added benefit, this program also offers participants the opportunity to earn CME credits. Ultimately, this program will help you achieve optimal leadership effectiveness, which in turn can improve patient and clinician satisfaction, and improve health care outcomes and performance.
Health Care Challenge
A unique aspect of this program is the Health Care Challenge, which consists of four highly interactive sessions where you have the opportunity to share a real-world organizational or leadership challenge you are facing and gain feedback from peers and faculty. Prior to the program you will interact with one of the program’s academic co-directors to develop a description of a complex organizational or leadership challenge you are experiencing. You will then meet with fellow participants in small groups to give and receive feedback. This exercise will give you practice in listening and analyzing challenges, as well as insights that will help you execute change.
Guest Speakers and Networking
One of the tremendous benefits of attending a program like this is the world-class networking opportunity it presents. Not only will you enjoy the peer-to-peer learning and dynamic interactions with other health care leaders, you will also be exposed to the knowledge of prominent guest speakers and panelists from the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine and Health System and from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Hear firsthand from other health care leaders about how they are navigating and handling emerging situations in today’s evolving health care economy.
Presenters will include deans of integrated academic medical centers, CEOs, senior executives, department chairs, and nursing leaders, as well as leadership development experts from Wharton and Penn Medicine.
