Health care is transforming rapidly, from revolutions in science and technology to patient care innovations to major policy and economic shifts. To meet growing challenges in this complex environment, today’s health care leaders must develop the agility, insights, and strategic skills needed to support clinical and academic excellence as well as the financial strength of their organizations.
Wharton Executive Education and Penn Medicine — world-renowned leaders in education and pioneers in health care — have designed a program specifically to develop the next generation of leaders in academic medicine and the health care industry. 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.
Health care leaders today need a broader skill set, says Dr. J. Larry Jameson, Dean of Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine.

Leadership Challenge
The Leadership Challenge: A method to execute organizational change.
A unique aspect of this program is the Leadership 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.
